• The administrator must explicitly trigger the save operation (bottom bar after changing
parameters.
• When triggered, the software saves the full conguration.
• Any old contents in the cong-le is over-written.
• When the switch is restarted, the software starts with the last conguration saved to the ash.

Most of the screen is taken up with the active window, in which settings and statistics for the

The right-most tabbed section is marked with a question mark and contains helpful explanations
for the corresponding settings.

After modifying a setting (e.g. by checking a box or specifying a value), please click on the Apply
button located at the bottom of the active window to conrm the change. Note that the Apply
function only temporarily saves the changes to the RAM. For a short time after the opening of a
window, the Apply button is highlighted grey. The Apply button is also activated, when settings
or alterations are made in the window. In this case, it appears in a bold font to remind you that
settings have been made or altered and that these have to be conrmed by clicking the Apply
button. After this is done, a SAVE CONFIGURATION button appears in the bottom bar. Click the
button to save your changes permanently in the ash memory to make the conguration also
existent after a power down or a software reboot.
