xStack DES-3526 / DES-3526DC Layer 2 Stackable Fast Ethernet Managed Switch User Manual

Save Changes

The DES-3526 has two levels of memory; normal RAM and non-volatile or NV-RAM. Configuration changes are made effective
by clicking the Apply button. When this is done, the settings will be immediately applied to the switching software in RAM, and
will immediately take effect.
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.
To retain any configuration changes permanently, click the Save Changes link in the Maintenance folder. The following window
will appear:
Click the Save Configuration button to save the current switch configuration in NV-RAM. The following dialog box will
confirm that the configuration has been saved:
Click the OK button to continue. 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.

Reset

The Reset function has several options when resetting the Switch. Some of the current configuration parameters can be retained
while resetting all other configuration parameters to their factory defaults.
NOTE: Only the Reset System option will enter the factory default parameters into the Switch's
non-volatile RAM, and then restart the Switch. All other options enter the factory defaults into the
current configuration, but do not save this configuration. Reset System will return the Switch's
configuration to the state it was when it left the factory
Reset gives the option of retaining the Switch's User Accounts and History Log while resetting all other configuration parameters
to their factory defaults. If the Switch is reset using this window, and Save Changes is not executed, the Switch will return to the
last saved configuration when rebooted.
