Are you able to save the running-config on Nexus Switches
Solution 1
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%
ABC-N5010-01#
Solution 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

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?
