When selected, this command updates the Nortel Switched Firewall with any pending
configuration changes. Pending changes are first validated for correctness (see
Validate Configuration on page 25). If no problems are found, the changes are applied
and put into effect. If problems are found, applicable warning and error messages are
displayed. Warnings are allowed, and the changes are applied and put into effect.
Errors are not allowed, and the changes are not applied.
This command has no effect on pending changes in other open CLI or BBI sessions.
See Figure 75 on page 107 for information about taking control of the GUI lock.
 Validate Configuration
When selected, this option validates pending changes for the current session, but does
not apply them. The pending configuration changes are examined to ensure that they
are complete and consistent.
If problems are found, the following types of messages are displayed:
Warnings are in yellow. Warnings identify conditions you should consider, but
which do not cause errors or prevent configuration application.
Errors are in red. Errors identify serious configuration problems that require
correction. Uncorrected errors cause the Apply Changes command to fail.
If the configuration is valid, select Apply Changes and click Submit to apply the
changes.
 Run a Security Audit
When selected, this command lists security information. Security information
includes the status for remote management features such as Telnet, SSH, and the BBI
for the cluster. The IP addresses that access the remote management features are also
listed. The Run Security Audit command also lists users configured with default
passwords that require change.
 Submit button: Click to perform the action selected in the Apply Changes list.
