copy running-config startup-config not working

[Clay Plaga]

I'm trying to save the running config to the startup config, on a Cisco 2960s and it's not working. I think it's not liking the copy command.

This is the command I'm using:

copy running-config startup-config

Can someone tell me why it's not working, I know that I have used this command before. Is there another command that does the same thing?

Thank You.

Thank You, I got it to work, I was still in config t mode. When I went into enable mode, the command worked. One more question, when I use the show ip interface brief command, I always see fastethernet0 at the top of the list. What is that fastethernet0 port?

Thanks.

If you want to do other commands even in config mode you can use the "do"  command such as   "do copy running-config startup-confg"   or   "do show interface status" all from config mode if you needed to .  Sometimes comes in handy and reduces going in and out of config mode.

Yes, thank you.

I have interface gi1/0/2 that is set as a trunking port on vlan 10 & 20. I want to reset the port back to an access port on vlan 1. The command I'm trying is not working. what is the command to do this?

Thank You.

In config mode, try default interface g1/0/2, then config as desired.
