the related parameter, enter “?” anytime in console to
get the help description.
7. Saving the Configuration via the Console
In the switch, the running configuration file is stored in
the RAM. In the current version, the running
configuration sequence of running-config can be saved
from the RAM to FLASH by writing the command or
copying the running-config startup-config command,
so that the running configuration sequence becomes the
startup configuration file, which is the configuration
saved.
1. At the “NS3503-16P#” prompt, enter “copy running-
config startup-config” as shown in Figure 6-1.

8. 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 to 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 to 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.

configuration file will be loaded automatically across a
system reboot.
1. Click ”Save > Save Configurations to FLASH” to
