Configuration Changes Using the Web Browser
Interface

You can use the web browser interface to simultaneously save and implement
a subset of switch configuration changes without having to reboot the switch.
That is, when you save a configuration change (in most cases, by clicking on

Apply Changes

or

Apply Settings

, you simultaneously change both the running­

config file and the startup-config file.

N o t e

If you reconfigure a parameter in the CLI and then go to the browser interface
without executing a

write memory command, those changes will be saved to

the startup-config file if you click on

Apply Changes

or

Apply Settings

in the web

browser interface.
