Configuring the switch
138
Applied changes take effect on the switch immediately, but are lost the next time the switch is
rebooted, unless the
Save
command is selected. When you click
Save
, you have two save options:
Save
and
Save n
. With
Save
, your new configuration changes are placed in the active
configuration block. The previous configuration is copied into the backup configuration block. If you
select
Save n
, your new configuration changes are placed in the active configuration block, and
the backup configuration block remains unchanged.
Input error checking
The BBI performs two levels of input error-checking, as follows:
•
Submit:
When you click
Submit
on a Configuration form, the BBI checks the format and range of
pending configuration changes. For example, if you enter a value that is out of range (VLAN =
8097), a log error is generated.
•
Apply:
When you click
Apply
to make pending changes active, the switch checks the validity of
pending configuration changes. For example, an invalid MIB OID can pass the format check during
Submit, if the format is correct. The invalid OID is rejected when you attempt to apply the
configuration.
