Description
As you make configuration changes to a router, switch, or firewall, they are applied to the running configuration. There is nothing lost. If the user has not saved the running configuration to non-volatile random-access memory (NVRAM), it can be done by logging back in. Furthermore, a desktop or laptop is used to connect to the router, switch, or firewall. The routers, switches, and firewalls have the idle timeout capability where the session is taken down after a period of inactivity. This is a simple and straightforward solution.
