Hi

The "write" command is the old way to decide what to do, The newer way is "copy" When you do "write" it is also meaning it takes the running-config and sends where you specify.

If you just do write and press enter, the command takes it's default value, which is memory. So the "write" is the same as "write memory" that also can be written as "wr m" or "wr mem"

The write command has more options, as "write terminal" or "wr t" whish means send the running-config to your session (console or telnet/ssh).

It also has "write net" that means, take the running-config and sent it to a file on a tftp server.

"write" or "write mem" is the same as "copy running-config startup-config"

"write terminal" is the same as "show running-config"

"write net" is the same as "copy running-config tftp"
