xStack DES-3500 Series Layer 2 Stackable Fast Ethernet Managed Switch User Manual Save Changes The DES-3500 Series switches have 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: Figure 9- 8. Save Configuration window 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: Figure 9- 9. Save Configuration Confirmation dialog box 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. Figure 9- 10. Reset window 177
