I go to conf t, then make some change, then I type "do wr " and do verify /md5 nvram:startup-config, the MD5 value is ******ad3,

now I type end and then followed by wr, I get another MD5 value is ******s32, but my two configuration is the same, why we have two MD5 value

for the same config?

can someone show me the reason, if using "do wr" will we lost some configuration?

Hello,

this is an excerpt from the document linked below:

You cannot use the do command to execute the configure terminal command because entering the configure terminal command changes the user EXEC mode or privileged EXEC mode to the global configuration mode.

You cannot use the do command to execute copy or write commands in the global configuration or any other configuration mode or submode.
