Usage
Information
The write memory command saves the running-configuration to the file labeled
startup-configuration. When using a LOCAL CONFIG FILE other than the startup-
config not named “startup-configuration” (for example, you used a specific file
during the boot config command), the running-config is not saved to that file;
use the copy command to save any running-configuration changes to that local
file.
