Configuration Menu

Introduction

The Configuration Menu is only available from an administrator login. It includes submenus for configuring every aspect of the switch. Changes to configuration are not active until explicitly applied. Changes can be saved to non- volatile memory (NVRAM).

Viewing, applying, reverting, and saving changes

As you use the configuration menus to set switch parameters, the changes you make do not take effect immediately. All changes are considered pending until you explicitly apply them. Also, any changes are lost the next time the switch boots unless the changes are explicitly saved.

While configuration changes are in the pending state, you can:

View the pending changes

Apply the pending changes

Revert to restore configuration parameters set with the last apply command

Save the changes to flash memory
