Your configuration will vary depending on whether you are using the switch port as VLAN aware or not and what configured interfaces you have defined. Both the five-port switch chip itself and each individual port can have configured VLANs although both cannot use the same VLAN number independently. IIRC the /config directory survives upgrades and reboots. I am not sure on that because I do not have the router I used for that part of my 44net network in front of me. -- Kris Kirby, KE4AHR Disinformation Architect, Systems Mangler, & Network Mismanager
