representation of the switch ports.To toggle through the selection options, click
on the icon representing the port you want to select or deselect.

An Apply button applies the configuration settings on the page or the section
of the page. The new settings will take effect immediately, but are not
automatically saved. To save the settings after clicking Apply, click the Save
button above the menu.
Cancel Button
A Cancel button closes a popup page without making any changes to the
configuration.
Close Button
A Close button closes a popup page, and conserves any changes that you made
to the settings on the page by clicking on buttons like Add, Modify, Remove or
Apply. Changes you made to editable fields will not be conserved when you
click Close (unless you first clicked Apply).

• creating user accounts and enabling system security

• backing files up to the switch’s Flash memory or to a PC or TFTP server
• restoring the switch’s configuration from backup
• specifying which software and configuration files the switch uses on
bootup, and displaying the currently-used files
