Saving Configuration Changes to the Interface

Once you have configured the cable range, network address, zone(s), and AppleTalk routing for an interface, you can preserve the configuration changes by saving them to flash.

HP9300(config-if-1/3)# write memory

HP9300(config-if-1/3)# end

HP9300# reload

NOTE: When there is more than one seed router on the network, make sure the AppleTalk configuration of each of those seed routers is consistent with other routers on the same segment.
