10-5 Save Changes
The AT-9724TS 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.
Figure 10- 8. Save Changes Screen
The Switch has three levels of save, which are as follows:
Parameter
Description
Save (Only save config)
Clicking the radio button for this entry will save only the current switch configuration to NV-RAM.
Save Log (Only save log)
Clicking the radio button for this entry will save only the current current log file to NV- RAM.
Save All (Save config and log)
Clicking the radio button for this entry will save both the current switch configuration and the current log file
to NV-RAM.
These settings will be used every time the Switch is rebooted. See the
Reset
section for more information on changing configurations saved to NV-RAM.
10-6 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.
