Saving Configuration Changes
When you are done configuring the access point, you may want to
activate your changes immediately or you may want to save the changes
now and activate them later. If you choose to activate the changes later,
they will become active the next time the access point is booted.
Table 8 Access Point Configuration Files
Configuration File Description
Default This configuration file is the factory default
configuration. For help,see Restoring the
Access Point to the Default Configuration on
page 200.
Current When you select Submit Changes, the access
point updates the current configuration file. The
access point does not change the active
configuration file. You can see a list of pending
changes when you select Save/Discard
Changes. Having separate files for the current
and active configurations lets you make changes
while the access point is running without
interrupting communication.
Active When you select Save/Discard Changes then
Save Changes and Reboot, the access point
copies the current configuration file to the
active configuration file. The active
configuration file is the file that the access point
uses.
