Saving Changes

The DES-3326 has two levels of memory; normal RAM and non-volatile or NV-RAM. Configuration
changes are made effective by clickng Apply. When this is done, the settings will be immediately
applied to the switching software in RAM, and will immediately take effect.

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 retain any configuration changes permanently, click Save Changes on the Maintenance menu and
then click Save Configuration on the following window:

Figure 7-4. Save Changes window

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.

Reboot and Load Factory Defaults

The following window is used to restart the switch using only the configuration that was supplied by the
factory. To return all configuration options to their default values and restores the switch’s
configuration to the factory settings, select Factory Reset on the Maintenance menu.

Please note that all user-entered configuration information will be lost.

Figure 7-5. Factory Reset to Default Value window

Check Yes if you want the switch to retain its current IP address. Check No to reset the switch’s IP
address to the factory default, 10.90.90.90.

Click the Reset to Factory Default button to restart the switch.
