Figure 5 The Reboot Switch option in the Main Menu
Rebooting to activate configuration changes. Configuration changes for most parameters in the
menu interface become effective as soon as you save them. However, you must reboot the switch
in order to implement a change in the Maximum VLANs to support parameter. To access this
parameter, go to the Main Menu and select:
2. Switch Configuration
8. VLAN Menu
1. VLAN Support.
If you make configuration changes in the menu interface that require a reboot, the switch displays
an asterisk (*) next to the menu item in which the change has been made. For example, if you
change and save the value for the Maximum VLANs to support parameter, an asterisk appears
next to the VLAN Support entry in the VLAN Menu screen, and also next to the Switch Configuration
entry in the Main Menu.
