Using the Menu Interface

Rebooting the Switch

Using the Menu Interface

Rebooting To Activate Configuration Changes. Configuration changes

for most parameters become effective as soon as you save them. However,

you must reboot the switch in order to implement a change in the

Maximum

VLANs to support parameter

. (To access this parameter, go to the Main menu and

select 2. Switch Configuration, then 8. VLAN Menu, then

1. VLAN Support.)

If configuration changes requiring a reboot have been made, the switch

displays an asterisk (*) next to the menu item in which the change has been

made. For example, if you change and save the value for the Maximum VLANs to

support

parameter, an asterisk appears next to the VLAN Support entry in the

VLAN Menu screen, and also next to the the

Switch Configuration . . . entry in the

Main menu, as shown in figure 4-6:

Figure 4-4. Indication of a Configuration Change Requiring a Reboot

To activate changes indicated by the asterisk, go to the Main Menu and select

the

Reboot Switch option.

Note Executing the write memory command in the CLI does not affect pending

configuration changes indicated by an asterisk in the menu interface. That is,

only a reboot from the menu interface or a boot or reload command from the

CLI will activate a pending configuration change indicated by an asterisk.

Reminder to

reboot the switch

to activate

configuration

changes.

Asterisk indicates

a configuration

change that

requires a reboot

in order to take

effect.
