Flash memory. If you reset the system and you made one or more commits but did not copy commands

Console> (enable) set boot auto-config bootflash:switchapp.cfg
Console> (enable) set boot config-register auto-config recurring
Console> (enable)

switch is restarted:
Console> (enable) set boot config-register auto-config non-recurring
Configuration register is 0x2102
ignore-config: disabled
auto-config: non-recurring, overwrite, auto-sync disabled
console baud: 9600

ignore-config: disabled
auto-config: non-recurring, append, auto-sync disabled
console baud: 9600

Console> (enable) set boot auto-config bootflash:switch.cfg
