Save your settings to the running configuration
When you click the Apply button, your changes are saved for the web management
session but are not retained when you restart the switch. To save your changes to the
running configuration (that is, permanently), click the Save icon at the top right of a
page.
You can also first make multiple changes without clicking the Save icon after each
change (although you must click the Apply button after each change) and then save
the configuration to the running configuration. For more information, see Save the
configuration on page 734).
Main UI online help
When you log in to the switch, each page contains a link to the online help that contains
information to assist in configuring and managing the switch. The online help pop-up
windows are context sensitive. For example, if the IP Addressing page is open, the help
topic for that page displays if you click the Help button.
You can connect to the online support site at netgear.com/support when you are logged
in to the switch.
