The system management pages use consistent techniques to present and save
configuration information. Navigation buttons appear at the top of the page,
and configuration action buttons appear at the bottom. Use the navigation
buttons to display other management pages, and use the configuration action
buttons to save or cancel changes to the configuration.
It is important
to remember that clicking the Back button of the browser is the same as
clicking Cancel. If changes are made on a management page, the changes are not
applied when the Back button is clicked. Changes are only applied when clicking
Apply or OK.
