Copy-run-start produces a compressed configuration message?

Sean Grubb

Hello all, hopefully someone knows exactly what this is. I have a couple of Catalyst 3650-48 switches implemented in our network and so far they have been great. After a power outage at one of our facilities, when everything came back up, the switch didn't...exactly. Yes it booted back up, but it dropped its config. As if none of it was ever there. I went out to it and reconfigured it on site and everything is working fine, but I remembered seeing this before and didn't think it was an issue until it "lost" its config, but when doing a wr mem or copy-run-start, it will say Building Configuration and then it says compressed configuration etc.

 

Is this actually saving the running config as the startup config? Is there an way to stop this whole compressing thing and just have it save like it is supposed to?

 

I appreciate any help. I do not want to have to keep reconfiguring switches every time there is a power blip.

Ah right grand that's ios-xe as well so those commands will work and will hopefully prevent it from booting backup as 0x142 and setting the IOS in flash to boot with the boot statement should be done as best practice as well, save everything before reload then check show ver again and make sure your config is there

Okay I see so in my case the ios version is
