3.5 Configuring the GS-3012
You may use the embedded web configurator or command line interface to configure the GS-3012. If you’re using
the web configurator, you need Internet Explorer 5.5 and later or Netscape Navigator 6 and later.
You can access the command line interface using a terminal emulation program on a computer connected to the
switch console port (see Section 3.2.1) or access the switch using Telnet.
You can use the “config save” command to save 802.1Q, STP, Cluster and IP configuration
changes to non-volatile memory (Flash). These changes are effective after you restart the switch.
However you cannot use “config save” for all other line command configurations. These are
saved in volatile memory (DRAM), so are not effective after you restart the switch.
The next part of this guide discusses configuring the GS-3012 using the web configurator.
