6. Saving the Configuration via the Console In switches, the running configuration file stores in the RAM. In the current version, the running configuration sequence running-config can be saved from the RAM to FLASH by save command or copy running-config startup-config command, so that the running configuration sequence becomes the startup configuration file, which is called configuration save. 1. On “GS-4210-24T2S #” prompt, enter “copy running-config startupconfig” as shown in Figure 6-1.
7. Starting Web Management The following shows how to start up the Web Management of the Managed Switch. Note the Managed Switch is configured through an Ethernet connection. Please make sure the manager PC must be set on the same IP subnet address. For example, the default IP address of the Managed Switch is 192.168.0.100; then the manager PC should be set at 192.168.0.x (where x is a number between 1 and 254, except 100) and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. PC / Workstation with Web Browser 192.
