Configuring the GbE Interconnect Switch using the
Menu-driven Interface
Overview
This chapter describes how to configure the GbE Interconnect Switch from the menu-driven
interface.
Saving Changes
The GbE Interconnect Switch has two types of memory: dynamic RAM and non-volatile
RAM (NVRAM).
Restarting the GbE Interconnect Switch erases all configuration settings in RAM and reloads
the stored settings from NVRAM. Thus, it is necessary to save all configuration setting
changes to NVRAM before rebooting the GbE Interconnect Switch.
After the configuration settings have been saved to NVRAM, they become the current
runtime settings for the GbE Interconnect Switch. These settings are then used every time the
GbE Interconnect Switch is rebooted.
Configuration changes are made effective on a screen by highlighting APPLY, then pressing
the Enter key. When this is done, the settings are immediately applied to the switching
software in RAM
