Notes
The device starts operation at power up based on the settings in the startup configuration
file. To change the settings, you can use this configuration command, which immediately
applies a settings change. If you do not save the settings configured by using the
configuration command to the startup configuration file, the configuration settings will be
lost when the device is restarted. Care is therefore necessary. We recommend that you
execute the
save configuration command or the copy operation command to save the
settings to the startup configuration file.
