Configuration Menu
Introduction
The Configuration Menu is only available from an administrator login. It includes submenus for configuring every
aspect of the switch. Changes to configuration are not active until explicitly applied. Changes can be saved to non-
volatile memory (NVRAM).

Viewing, applying, reverting, and saving changes
As you use the configuration menus to set switch parameters, the changes you make do not take effect
immediately. All changes are considered pending until you explicitly apply them. Also, any changes are lost the
next time the switch boots unless the changes are explicitly saved.
While configuration changes are in the pending state, you can:
•
View the pending changes
•
Apply the pending changes
•
Revert to restore configuration parameters set with the last apply command
•
Save the changes to flash memory
