Using the Web Console
FigureA-1 Update Page
The Update page allows you to confirm the changes you just made to the system configuration, before
actually applying them to the running configuration of your switch. This page also indicates whether or
not any errors occurred when the information was transferred to the operating system. If you are sure
that you want to apply the changes to the running configuration, click Update Page. If you want to
discard your changes, click Close.
Saving Changes to the Startup Configuration
The startup configuration file contains the IP addresses, passwords, and any other parameters you
entered when you first configured the system. The system maintains the configuration by reloading this
file when it restarts. However, the startup configuration file might not have the configuration that is
currently operating the system. Changes made through the Web Console or the CLI take effect
immediately but must be explicitly saved to be included in the startup configuration.
The configuration file that loads when the switch is restarted is not necessarily the same as the running
configuration. If you want the running configuration to be the configuration used when the switch
restarts, use the Save As button on each Web Console page to save the running configuration to the
startup configuration file in memory.
To save the configuration to boot flash, the startup-config, the TFTP server, or one of the PCMCIA
disks, follow these steps:
Step 1 Click the Save As button in the left frame on any of the Web Console pages.
The Save As window is displayed. (See FigureA-2.)
