its internal nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM). If the switch restarts,
the management module applies the saved configuration to the switch.
If the switch restarts and the management module cannot apply the saved
configuration, the switch defaults to using the configuration that it had
previously saved. If the IP subnet address of the switch does not match the IP
subnet address of the management module, you can no longer manage the
switch from the management module.
