Switch Memory and Configuration
Using the Menu and Web Browser Interfaces To Implement Configuration Changes
the menu interface, the switch discards the configuration changes made while
using the CLI. To ensure that changes made while using the CLI are saved,
execute write memory in the CLI before rebooting the switch.
Rebooting from the Menu Interface
■ Terminates the current session and performs a reset of the operating
system
■ Activates any configuration changes that require a reboot
■ Resets statistical counters to zero
(Note that statistical counters can be reset to zero without rebooting the
switch. See “Displaying Port Counters” on “To Display the Port Counter
Summary Report” on page B-10.)
To Reboot the switch, use the Reboot Switch option in the Main Menu. (Note
that the Reboot Switch option is not available if you log on in Operator mode;
that is, if you enter an Operator password instead of a manager password at
the password prompt.)
