Protecting Memory Card Files
Bay Networks ships each memory card with its Read/Write Protect switch in the
unprotected position
(Figure 3-5)
. After successfully loading the configuration file
and saving your configuration, you may want to write-protect the memory card for
backup purposes.
To change memory card protection, complete the following steps:
1.
Remove the memory card as described in the previous section.
2.
Adjust the read-write protect switch, which is located on the edge
opposite the INSERT arrow of the memory card
(Figure 3-5)
.

3.
Reinsert the memory card into the card receptacle.
Note:
You typically do not operate the ARN with a write-protected memory
card. We recommend making a copy of your configuration on another memory
card, write-protecting the card, and storing it in a safe place.
