Using the Switch Console Interface
Rebooting the Switch
Using the Switch Console
Interface
Rebooting To Activate Configuration Changes. Configuration changes
for some parameters become effective as soon as you save them. However,
you must reboot the switch in order to implement any changes to any
parameters in the following areas:
■ Console/Serial Link (under 2. Switch Management Access Configuration
menu)
■ VLAN Names (under 3. Switch Configuration | 5. Advanced Feature |
4. VLAN Menu)
If configuration changes requiring a reboot have been made, the switch
displays an asterisk (*) next to the menu item in which the change has been
made. For example, if you change and save parameter values for the switch’s
Console/Serial Link configuration, the need for rebooting the switch would be
indicated by an asterisk appearing next to the item Console/Serial Link in the
Switch Management Access Configuration menu, and in the Main Menu as shown
in figure 4-6:
