Switch Memory and Configuration
Using the Menu and Web Browser Interfaces To Implement Configuration Changes
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 5-11.
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:
