After establishing a User Account with Root-level privileges, press Esc. Then highlight Save Changes and press

Save Changes
The DGS-3308 has two levels of memory; normal RAM and non-volatile or NV-RAM. Configuration changes are made
effective by highlighting Apply and pressing Enter.When this is done, the settings will be immediately applied to the
switching software in RAM, and will immediately take effect.
Some settings, though, require you to restart the switch before they will take effect. Restarting the Switch erases all
settings in RAM and reloads the stored settings from the NV-RAM. Thus, it is necessary to save all setting changes to
NV-RAM before rebooting the Switch.
To retain any configuration changes permanently, highlight Save Changes from the Main Menu. The following screen
will appear to verify that your new settings have been saved to NV-RAM:
