5.RepeatStep1tocheckiftheIPaddresshaschanged

If the IP is successfully congured, the Managed Switch will apply the new IP

address setting immediately. You can access the Web interface of the GS-4210

ManagedSwitchSeriesthroughthenewIPaddress.

3.3 StoringCurrentSwitchConguration

In the Managed switch, the running conguration le is stored in the RAM. In the

currentversion, therunning congurationsequence ofrunning-cong can besaved

fromthe RAMto FLASHby writingthecommand orcopying the running-cong

startup-cong command, so that the running conguration sequence becomes

thestartupcongurationle,whichisthecongurationsaved.

1.At the “GS-4210 Series#” prompt, enter “copy running-cong startup-
