Using Save and Cancel in the Menu Interface

 

 

For any configuration screen in the menu interface, the Save command:

 

1. Implements the changes in the running-config file

 

2. Saves your changes to the startup-config file

 

If you decide not to save and implement the changes in the screen, select

 

Cancel to discard them and continue switch operation with the curent opera-

 

tion. For example, suppose you have made the changes shown below in the

 

System Information screen:

To save and implement the changes for all parameters in this screen, press the

key, then press (for Save). To

cancel all changes,
