Save Configuration. The switch will now save any changes to its non-volatile ram and reboot. You can logon again and are now

ready to continue configuring the Switch.

Save Changes

The DES-3350SR has two levels of memory; normal RAM and non-volatile or NV-RAM. Configuration changes are made

effective by clicking the Apply button. When this is done, the settings will be immediately applied to the switching software in

RAM, and will immediately take effect.

rebooting the switch.

To retain any configuration changes permanently, click Save Changes from the Maintenance menu. The following window

will appear:
