Using the Menu and Web BrowserInterfaces To Implement ConfigurationChanges

The menu and web browser interfaces offer these advantages:

Quick, easy menu or window access to a subset of switch configuration features

Viewing several related configuration parameters in the same screen, with their default and current settings

Immediately changing both the running-config file and the startup-config file with a single command

Menu: Implementing Configuration Changes

You can use the menu interface to simultaneously save and implement a subset of switch configuration changes without having to reboot the switch. That is, when you save a configuration change in the menu interface, you simultaneously change both the running-config file and the startup-config file.

The only exception to this operation are two VLAN-related parameter changes that require a reboot—described under “Rebooting To Activate Configuration Changes” on page 6-12.

Using Save and Cancel in the Menu Interface

For any configuration screen in the menu interface, the Save command:

1.Implements the changes in the running-config file

2.Saves your changes to the startup-config file

If you decide not to save and implement the changes in the screen, select Cancel to discard them and continue switch operation with the current oper- ation. For example, suppose you have made the changes shown below in the System Information screen:
