If a Cisco router has been set with a configuration register to bypass parsing
the startup-config file (such as in the case of password recovery - and it's
oh so easy to forget to reset the config register to 0x2102 afterwards), the
operation of the router will appear as if the router isn't saving changes made
to the router's configuration when in fact it actually is. Setting the config
register to the default of 0x2102 can easily remedy this problem.
When posting a problem to the list, it's quite helpful to not only post the
perceived problem, but the circumstances that have led to the perception of
what the problem is. In this particular case, it's important to know if an
error message is being received indicating specifically that the router is
unable to save the config, or if the poster (Wm. Spencer Plantier) is assuming
his configs aren't saving because he doesn't see the router load with the
settings he attempted to save in the startup-config.
