Click

to set the values in the Running Configuration file.
Rebooting the Switch
Some configuration changes, such as enabling jumbo frame support, require the
system to be rebooted before they take effect. However, rebooting the switch
deletes the Running Configuration, so it is critical that the Running Configuration is
saved to the Startup Configuration before the switch is rebooted. Clicking
Apply
does not save the configuration to the Startup Configuration. For more information
on files and file types, see the
Files and File Types
section in the
Managing
System Files
section.
You can back up the configuration by using
Administration > File Management >
Copy/Save Configuration
or clicking
Save
at the top of the window. You can also
upload the configuration from a remote device. See the
Downloading or
Backing-up a Configuration or Log
section in the
Managing System Files
section.
To reboot the switch:
STEP 1
Click
Administration
>
Reboot
. The
Reboot
page
opens.
STEP 2
Click one of the Reboot buttons to reboot the switch.
•
Clear Startup Configuration File
—Check to clear the configuration on the
switch for the next time it boots up.
•
Reboot
—Reboots the switch. Since any unsaved information in the Running
Configuration is discarded when the switch is rebooted, you must click
Save
in the upper-right corner of any window to preserve current configuration
across the boot process. If the Save option is not displayed, the Running
Configuration matches the Startup Configuration and no action is necessary.
•
Reboot to Factory Defaults
—Reboots the switch by using the factory
default configuration. This process erases the Startup Configuration file, and
the backup configuration file. Any settings that are not saved to another file
are cleared when this action is selected. The mirror configuration file is not
deleted when restoring to factory default.
NOTE
Clearing the Startup Configuration File and Rebooting is not the same
as Rebooting to Factory Defaults. Rebooting to Factory Defaults is more
intrusive.
