Data Entry
When you move the cursor from one field to another, the data entry field
changes to prompt you for the new data. When you type the new data, it
appears in the data entry field, but does not appear in the corresponding
field until you press [Return].
Saving vs. Saving and Rebooting
‘‘Saving’’ a new configuration holds that configuration in memory and
displays the new settings in the Quick Configuration display (and in the
Configuration Editor displays). However, because the router always
uses the configuration with which it was last booted, the new
configuration does not replace the previous configuration until you
reboot the router. Thus:
1. If you save a configuration (by typing y at the ‘‘save and exit’’
prompt—page 3-9). . .
2. . . . but then choose not to reboot the router (by typing n at the
‘‘Reboot now (y/n)?’’ prompt—page 3-10)
Then the configuration changes are saved in memory, but are not
implemented in the current configuration, unless you subsequently
reboot the router in one of the following ways:
Re-enter the Quick Configuration utility, then exit as described under
‘‘To exit from the Quick Configuration utility and reboot the router’’
on page 3-9.
Use the Network Control Language Interpreter (NCL) Boot
command.
Press the Reset button on the back of the router.
Cycle the power.
