The above prompt means that one or more parameter settings in the running-
config file differ from their counterparts in the startup-config file and you need
to choose which config file to retain and which to discard.
■ If you want to update the startup-config file to match the running-config
file, press for "yes". (This means that the changes you entered in the
[Y]
running-config file will be saved in the startup-config file.)
If you want to discard the changes you made to the running-config file so

If you use the CLI to make a change to the running-config file, you should
either use the

a reboot (figure 6-2, above) to save the change to the startup-config file. That
is, if you use the CLI to change a parameter setting, but then reboot the switch
from either the CLI or the menu interface without first executing the
command in the CLI, the current startup-config file will replace the

Using the command in the menu interface does not save a change made

running-config values. Thus, where a parameter setting is accessible from both
the CLI and the menu interface, if you change the setting in the CLI, the new
value will appear in the menu interface display for that parameter. However,
as indicated above, unless you also make a configuration change in the
menu interface, only the
