Switch Memory and Configuration

Using the Menu and Web Browser Interfaces To Implement Configuration Changes

N o t e

If you reconfigure a parameter in the CLI and then go to the menu interface

 

without executing a write memory command, those changes are stored only in

 

the running configuration. If you then execute a switch reboot command in

 

the menu interface, the switch discards the configuration changes made while

 

using the CLI. To ensure that changes made while using the CLI are saved,

 

execute write memory in the CLI before rebooting the switch.

 

 

Rebooting from the Menu Interface

Terminates the current session and performs a reset of the operating system

Activates any configuration changes that require a reboot

Resets statistical counters to zero

(Note that statistical counters can be reset to zero without rebooting the switch. See “Displaying Port Counters” on “To Display the Port Counter Summary Report” on page B-12.)

To Reboot the switch, use the Reboot Switch option in the Main Menu. (Note that the Reboot Switch option is not available if you log on in Operator mode, that is, if you enter an Operator password instead of a manager password at the password prompt.)
