    157158When you make changes to the configurations (e.g. create vlan interfaces as in this example), you will see a "!" before the prompt. This is there to remind you that you've made changes that must be saved if you want them to survie a reboot. The command "save" intuitively saves the settings.

    160161The command `exit` lets you exit from contexts and enabled mode, or lets you log out of the switch if you were just in user mode.

     170Only shut the switch off after all users log off (shutting down the switch while someone's configuring it can break files). Use command "reload stop", then flip the power switch on the back of the device.

    447 
     451Assuming you haven't broken your switch, now you are ready to do fancier things. This section will explain how to configure access control lists (ACLs) to secure your device, and determine who gets to use Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to look up and change information on your switch.

    448453=== ACLs (Access Control Lists) ===
    449454ACLs keep your switch secure by setting permissions about who can access the CLI. These permissions are set based on IP addresses. The ACL is basically a list of IP address blocks paired with group names stating which IP address blocks are able to communicate with the switch. Access Lists are manipulated using the "access-list" context.
