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.
When you use the write memory command to copy the running configuration to the startup configuration file
with the startup configuration verification feature enabled, the system prompts you to update the hash for the
startup configuration using the verified boot hash command.
