Question

Which of the following commands are options to save your currently running configuration on nvram? (Choose all that apply.)

A) copy running-config nvram
B) write memory
C) save config
D) switch config-save

Answer 1

The correct commands to save the current running configuration on NVRAM in Cisco IOS are 'write memory' and 'copy running-config startup-config'. The options 'save config' and 'switch config-save' are not standard Cisco commands for this action.

Step-by-step explanation:

The commands that are options to save your currently running configuration on NVRAM are:

• write memory
• copy running-config startup-config

Note that the correct command is copy running-config startup-config, not copy running-config nvram, as NV (non-volatile) RAM is the physical location but not the conceptual space we address in Cisco's IOS command line. Cisco IOS uses the term startup-config to refer to the configuration saved on NVRAM that is loaded when the device boots up. The command write memory is an older but still valid synonym for copy running-config startup-config and performs the same action. Option C, 'save config', and option D, 'switch config-save', are not standard commands in Cisco IOS for saving configurations to NVRAM.
