Hi Experts,

I need to get some insight on this issue as when I try to configure an interface with a IP address and save it..! IT DOES NOT SAVE?

What seems to be the problem. This problem started from the time a reset the device to factory default and when the default password got reset now I am faced with the problem where configs don't get saved either via write or copy configs command ?

I need your expertise here...! Below is the details acquired from the device:

Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance Software Version 8.2(1) <system>
Device Manager Version 6.2(1)

Hi,

Can you share the command line output after executing the "write mem" command?

Also could you provide the show flash output?

Thanks,
