Figure 7- 16. Ping Test
The user may use
Infinite times
checkbox, in the
Number of Repetitions
field, tells ping to keep sending data
packets to the specified IP address until the program is stopped. The user may opt to choose a specific number of
times to ping the Target IP Address by clicking its radio button and entering a number between 1 and 255.
Save Changes
The DGS-3324SRi has two levels of memory, normal RAM and non-volatile or NV-RAM. To save all the
changes made in the current session to the Switch’s flash memory, click the
Save Configuration
button. Click
the
OK
button in the new dialog box that appears to continue. When this is done, the settings will be
immediately applied to the switching software in RAM, and will immediately take effect. Once the Switch’s
configuration settings have been saved to NV-RAM, they become the default settings for the Switch. These
settings will be used every time the Switch is rebooted.
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
Configuration
button in the
Save Changes
page, as shown below.
Figure 7- 17. Save Changes
Once the Switch configuration settings have been saved to NV-RAM, they become the default settings for the
Switch. These settings will be used every time the Switch is rebooted.
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.
