When Changes are Applied

Regardless of which interface is used (CLI, or Web browser interface), the
most recently configured version of a parameter setting overrides any earlier
settings for that parameter. For example, if you use the Web interface to
configure an IP address of "X" for the Ethernet interface and later use the CLI
to configure a different IP address of "Y", then "Y" replaces "X" as the IP
address for the Ethernet interface.
Changes made through the Web interface are immediately applied to the
startup configuration, whereas changes made through the CLI interface are
only made to the running configuration, and must be saved using the "copy"
or "write memory" command if they are to persist following a reboot.
To save the running configuration changes to the startup configuration using
the CLI Interface:
ProCurve Acess Point 530(ethernet)# write memory
