Save Changes 
The DGS-3204 has two levels of memory; normal RAM and non-volatile or NV-RAM. Configuration changes are made 
effective by clicking the Apply button. 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
