Save Changes; Factory Reset - D-Link DGS-3312SR Release 3.5 Manual

Save Changes

Changes made to the Switch's configuration must be saved in order to retain them. Access the Save Configuration
window by clicking the Save Changes button located in the Maintenance folder.
The Switch has two levels of memory, normal RAM and non-volatile or NV-RAM. To save all the changes made in the
current session to the Switch's flash memory, click the Save Configuration button. Click the OK button in the new dialog
box that appears to continue. When this is done, the settings will be immediately applied to the Switching software in
RAM, and will immediately take effect. Once the Switch configuration settings have been saved to NV-RAM, they
become the default settings for the Switch. These settings will be used every time the Switch is rebooted.
Some settings, though, require you to restart the Switch before they will take effect. Restarting the Switch erases all
settings in RAM and reloads the stored settings from the NV-RAM. Thus, it is necessary to save all setting changes to NV-
RAM before rebooting the Switch.

Factory Reset

Click the Factory Reset link in the Maintenance folder to bring up the following window.
The following options are available to perform a factory reset:
• Reset − Returns all configuration settings to the factory default settings except the Switch's stacking
mode, user account, IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway settings.
