Are you able to save the running-config on Nexus Switches

  • 772

I have been trolling Cisco sites and have not been able to find an answer to this questions.

Are you able to perform a write mem or likewise to save these configs on Nexus 5000 switches?

    In the handful of Nexus 5K's that I have worked on, write mem is not supported.

    The only write command supported is write erase.

    Saving the running configuration is achieved with a copy running-config startup-config.

    NX-OS also adds a little flare to the copy operation with a progress bar...

    ABC-N5010-01# copy running-config startup-config
[########################################] 100%

  2. you can also add a line in the config that allows you to use wr mem if you wish, or something even shorter. Simply add an alias statement, such as:

    cli alias name wr copy running-config startup-config
