switch is rebooted.

Save Writes applied configuration changes to non-volatile flash memory on the switch (with the

option of not overlaying the current backup).

Revert Removes pending configuration changes between Apply commands. Use this command to

restore configuration parameters set since last Apply command.

parameters that have been changed from default values.
