Save Your Switch Info!

by Shawn @ 8:53 pm · filed under Server Admin

Yesterday I spent about 2 hours configuring all sorts of crap in the new network switch... port assignments/names, QoS, SNMP crap, etc.

I forgot that even though changes you make are applied right away, they are lost if you power cycle the equipment. Hahaha... whoops!

Don't forget this, I know I won't ever forget it again.

Console# copy running-config startup-config

try

Console# write mem

Work for cisco switches

It’s not that I didn’t know the command (the one I listed is correct for my D-Link equipment), I just forgot to run it.

Just that write mem is faster to type than copy ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~, not that i’m taking you for a noob sir…
