A 3650 switch I am setting up does not retain the running config and goes to the setup dialog prompt. I have gone into terminal and used the "switch_ignore_startup_cfg=0" command with no effect. I even tried setting the register to the hex value, but I believe that is just for routers. I install a running config and copy it to the start-up config every time. Do I have to go into the ROMMON to use the ignore command properly ? This isn't the first switch I've had this issue with a switch.

Can you post the output of "sh ver"?

Configuration register is 0x142 (will be 0x102 at next reload)
Can you change the config register to 0x102, save and reboot?

That worked.
How does ..."no system ignore startupconfig switch all" differ from the command, "switch_ignore_startup_cfg=0" ?

One you issue on ROMMON Mode, One you using in the config mode.
