After establishing a user account with Root-level privileges, press Esc. Then,
highlight Save Changes and press Enter (see "Saving changes"). The switch
will save any changes to its NVRAM and restart. Log on with the new user
name and password as described in "Logging onto the switch module" on
page 40. You are now ready to continue configuring the switch.
Saving changes
The switch module has two levels of memory; normal random-access memory
(RAM) and NVRAM. To make configuration changes effective, highlight
APPLY and press Enter. When this is done, the settings will be immediately
applied to the switching software in RAM, and will immediately take effect.
However, some settings 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 NVRAM. Thus, it is necessary to save all setting changes to
NVRAM before restarting the switch.
To keep any configuration changes permanently, highlight Save Changes from
the main menu.
