Priscilla,
The only reason I remember the old syntax is because I am basically lazy
when it comes to typing!
(I am also not very good at it). :-(
So, if I can type wr instead of copy run start I will! ;-)
In truth, all of the old "write x" syntax was supposed to wind up in the
"undocumented commands" bucket in the IOS way back when I was teaching
IMCR! (We won't discuss how long ago that was)! :-[
Non-intuitive huh? That is being kind! I try not to lapse into old syntax
in front of folks that are new to the IOS CLI. There are enough commands
to try to remember without that! But just when you think you are safe,
you run into a machine that won't take "copy run start"! :-D
Sometimes being old enough to have forgotten the Hill you are supposed to
be over is cool!

What kind of output do you get after the write mem or copy run

Wasn't Cisco supposed to depricate "write mem?" I never learned those forms
of the commands because when I first started learning Cisco eight years
ago,
Cisco said not to bother learning them because they were going away!
Then yesterday I discovered that my new PIX firewall wouldn't take "copy
run
start?" Or was I making a typo or something? I had to reach into the back
of
my mind and come up with "write mem" which I thought they were going to get
rid of. And I approved of that plan since it's totally non-intuitive. :-)
Speaking of non-intuitive, why DO we put up with the PIX? What a beast. It
took me all day to get it to do some simple forwarding. The thing is
expensive, slow, and almost impossible to configure. Why do we put up with
it? :-) Not being able to do "copy run start" took the cake.
Rantings from a frustrated Cisco fan.

commands? Anything?
Also, after you save the config, do a show start to see if the
changes
have in fact been written to NVRAM. (I suspect the problem is
with NVRAM,
although I personally have never encountered a write-protected
NVRAM on a
Cisco router before, but that doesn't mean it can't happen! And
your
symptoms certainly sound like that is the case)!
Since the existing configuration is still there when you
reboot, I doubt
the problem is with the config-register.
I will be interested in what you find,

That's a good one! After saving the config do you see the
changes
when you do a write term? What is the platform and the IOS?

Dear All,
I need some expert comments from this group for my problem.
The router is
in
working condition and 3 links are working fine on this
router. Now I need
to
do some changes in the router configuration. After changing
and saving the
configuration, I gave a reboot to the router. But I find,
that router is
back to the previuos old configuration. Why so??
I have checked that the config-register setting is set to
0x2102. Sh
Version
command also shows me the config-register is set to 0x2102.
I have applied
the config-register 0x2102 command also to be doubly sure
that the router
is
picking config from the same register.
Pls. help
Thanks
Hitesh
