Saving Changes

The ZT8101 switch has two levels of memory: normal RAM and non-volatile or NV-RAM. Configuration changes are made effective by highlighting APPLY and pressing Enter. When you do this, the settings are immediately applied to the switch software in RAM and immediately take effect.

Some settings, though, require you to restart the switch before they will take effect. Restarting the switch erases all settings in RAM and reloads the stored settings from the NV-RAM. Thus, it is necessary to save all setting changes to NV-RAM before rebooting the switch.
