Cisco 2500 Configuration Save
Cisco Gurus,
I need your help, i can`t seem to save changes i made to my router. I am fairly new to routing and can`t seem to get this to save. I have recently did a password break and was successfull. But i can`t seem to save any changes i made, i have tried command Copy Start Run and that doesn`t seem to work at all??? what is the right command?
Thanks Peter

Try "write mem".

Both are correct. The "book" answer is copy running-config startup-config, "wri mem" is short ver.
When you use the command:
copy start run, you are over-writing any changes you have made with whatever was stored in the startup config.
When you make changes, you are changing the running config not the one in memory, so you must copy run to start to make the changes save to memory.
eumac,
