What's the command to write the config?<br />

</div>


<div>
either &quot;write mem&quot; or &quot;copy running-config startup-config&quot;
</div>


either "write mem" or "copy running-config startup-config"

<div>
I usually use &quot;write mem.&quot; Cisco was going to deprecate that command a long time ago but they never did.

Every Cisco course instructor must tell you that the correct way is <br />
router#copy running-config startup-config<br />
Shortcuts = (not every shortcut works with every IOS version, but most do)<br />
router#cop run star<br />
router#wri m<br />
router#wri<br />
router#w<br />

Cisco router 2600 config/running/config/startup-config

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
