Doing a lot on Nexus 9000 series datacenter boxes (N9K) lately? Sure you’re missing the good old ‘wr’ command to save your last startup-config into running-config.
NXOS architecture guys decided that you should be really well concentrated when deciding to save your nice new configuration to survive device reboot and type: N9K_1(config)# copy running-config startup-config. Just typing ‘wr’ into the console would be too nice right? Let’s use the alias configuration and bring that command back to the box.
N9K_1(config)# copy running-config startup-config [########################################] 100% Copy complete, now saving to disk (please wait)... Copy complete. N9K_1(config)#
If you try ‘wr’:
N9K_1(config)# wr ^ % Incomplete command at '^' marker. N9K_1(config)#
We will configure alias for ‘wr’ so that issuing ‘wr’ command will execute ‘copy running-config startup-config’
N9K_1(config)#cli alias name wr copy runn startup
And now we can save that config by:
N9K_1(config)# wr [########################################] 100% Copy complete, now saving to disk (please wait)... Copy complete. N9K_1(config)#
