Configuring the Switch Modules using the Menu-driven 
Interface 
Overview 
 This chapter describes how to configure the switch modules from the menu-driven interface. 
Saving Changes 
The switch module has two types of memory: dynamic RAM and non-volatile RAM 
(NVRAM). Restarting the switch module erases all configuration settings in RAM and 
reloads the stored settings from NVRAM. Thus, it is necessary to save all configuration 
setting changes to NVRAM before rebooting the switch module. 
After the configuration settings have been saved to NVRAM, they become the current 
runtime settings for the switch module. These settings are then used every time the switch 
module is rebooted. 
Configuration changes are made effective on a screen by highlighting APPLY, then pressing 
the Enter key. When this is done, the settings are immediately applied to the switching 
software in RAM.
