Saving Your Parameter Changes
A change to a parameter setting on the switch is immediately implemented
as soon as you enter it. For example, a new virtual LAN becomes
available as soon as you create it. All changes are initially saved to
temporary memory. They are lost the next time you reset or power cycle
the unit unless you permanently save them with the S - Save
Configuration Changes option in the Main Menu. This option updates the
switch’s active configuration file with your latest changes. Changes saved
to the switch’s active configuration file are retained even when the unit is
powered off or reset. This menu option is only displayed after you have
made a configuration change. If you do not see the option in the Main
Menu, there are no parameter changes to be saved.
Note
For further information on a switch’s configuration file, refer to
“Working with Boot Configuration Files” on page 199.
