Save Configuration
The DES-6500 switch has two levels of memory, normal RAM and non-volatile or NV-RAM. Configuration changes are
made effective clicking the
Apply button . When this is done, the settings will be immediately applied to the switching
software in RAM, and will immediately take effect.
Some settings, though, require you to restart the Switch before they will take effect. Restarting the Switch erases all
settings in RAM and reloads the stored settings from the NV-RAM. Thus, it is necessary to save all setting changes to NV-
RAM before rebooting the switch.
To retain any configuration changes permanently, click on the Save button in the Save Changes page, as shown below.

Reset
The Reset function has several options when resetting the Switch. Some of the current configuration parameters can be
retained while resetting all other configuration parameters to their factory defaults.
NOTE: Only the Reset System option will enter the factory default parameters
into the Switch’s non-volatile RAM, and then restart the Switch. All other
options enter the factory defaults into the current configuration, but do not save
this configuration.
Reset System will return the Switch’s configuration to the
state it was when it left the factory
