How To End a Menu Session and Exit from the Console:

The method for ending a menu session and exiting from the console depends on whether, during the session, you made any changes to the switch configu- ration that require a switch reboot to activate. (Most changes need only a Save, and do not require a switch reboot.) Configuration changes needing a reboot are marked with an asterisk (*) next to the configured item in the Configura- tion menu and also next to the Switch Configuration item in the Main Menu.
