As you use the configuration menus to set parameters, the changes you make do not take effect 
immediately. All changes are considered “pending” until you explicitly apply them. Also, any 
changes are lost the next time the switch boots unless the changes are explicitly saved.

Some operations can override the settings in the Configuration Menu. Therefore, set-

tings you view in the Configuration Menu (for example, port status) might differ from run-time 
information that you view in the Information menu or on the management system. The Infor-
mation Menu displays current run-time information of parameters. 

While configuration changes are in the pending state, you can do the following:

„

View the pending changes

„

Apply the pending changes

„

Save the changes to flash memory

You can view all pending configuration changes by entering diff at the menu prompt.

The diff and diff flash commands are global commands. Therefore, you can 

enter them at any prompt in the CLI.   

To make your configuration changes active, you must apply them. To apply configuration 
changes, enter apply at any prompt in the CLI.

The apply command is a global command. Therefore, you can enter apply at any 

prompt in the administrative interface.
