For example:
Press [Y] to replace the current configuration with the factory default config-
uration and reboot the switch. Press [N] to retain the current configuration and
prevent a reboot.
Using the Menu and Web Browser
Interfaces To Implement Configuration
Changes
The menu and web browser interfaces offer these advantages:
■
Quick, easy menu or window access to a subset of switch configuration
features (See the "Menu Features List" on page 2-14 and the web browser
"General Features" list on page .)
■
Viewing several related configuration parameters in the same screen, with
their default and current settings
■
Immediately changing both the running-config file and the startup-config
file with a single command
Using the Menu Interface To Implement Configuration
Changes
You can use the menu interface to simultaneously save and implement a subset
of switch configuration changes without having to reboot the switch. That is,
when you save a configuration change in the menu interface, you simulta-
neously change both the running-config file and the startup-config file.
N o t e
The only exception to this operation are two VLAN-related parameter changes
that require a reboot—described under "Rebooting To Activate Configuration
Changes" on page C-9.
HP2512(config)# erase startup-config
Configuration will be deleted and device rebooted, continue [y/n]?
