Main Command Shell Prefix es

All configurable commands start with either store or set. Troubleshootin g
commands usually start with debug, and view commands star t with list.
If the store prefix is used, the NIC must be repowered for the changes to
take effect. Since store affects flash memory settings only, the print server
must reset and read the new settings now in flash memory.
If the set prefix is used, a save command must also be executed so that the
new settings are retained after power cycles. Since set only a ffects the
settings in memory, they will be lost after a po wer cycle unless they are saved
to flash memory.
