Admin and User Privileges
After establishing a User Account with
Admin
-level privileges, be sure to save the changes
(see below).
Saving Changes
Changes made to the switch’s configuration must be saved in order to retain them. Access the
Save Configuration
by clicking the
Save Changes
button located in the
Maintenance
folder.
Figure 3-9. Save Configuration window
The switch 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 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 save settings using CLI the command is
save
.

Reset Config

factory default settings, but does not save the settings or reboot the switch. If you select this
option the switch configuration will be returned to the factory default settings for the current
session only. When the switch is rebooted, it will return to the last configuration saved to the
switch’s NV-RAM using the
Save Changes
option.
Reset System
returns switch configuration to the factory default settings and then saves the factory default
configuration to the switch’s NV-RAM. The switch will then reboot. When the switch has rebooted, it will have
the same configuration as when it was delivered from the factory.
