Good morning, team. I have an issue with a WS-3650 version 16.12.13. It's configured correctly, but when I unplug it and plug it back in, it appears to be back to factory settings.
I've already tried doing this to configure the registers.
config-register 0x102
but I still have the same problem
Greetings

Hello @Francisco Leon ,
check the output of the 'show boot' command to verify the boot variables.
If you see a line
Manual Boot = yes
then use the following commands:
conf t
no boot manual
exit
copy run start
Also check the 'show romvar' output to see whether there is a line
system ignore startup-config
In that case enter the commands
conf t
no system ignore startup-config
exit
copy run start
Then the next time the switch will load the startup-config without issues.
These switches do not use the config-register so you need to use those commands to change the behavior.
HTH!

In case you need further help, please post the complete output of the 'show boot' and 'show romvar' commands.

I already did what you mentioned, and it seems to have worked. I'll be working on it and will give feedback in a few days.
Thanks for the help.

Heyo!
Maybe startup-ignore or password recovery is turned on?
Try applying those commands:
no system ignore startupconfig switch all
system disable password recovery switch all
Can you share the output of "show boot" too?
