David-
The 5500 switches run CatOS, which isn't quite the same as IOS (as you've
noticed). The CatOS actually saves the config as you enter lines. No copy
running startup or write mem needed.
Write Mem basically copies the running-config to the startup-config. This
insures that any changes you make will be there when the router reloads.
Write term is the same as show running - it simply "writes" the config to
your console or telnet session. Write mem seems to be the default if you
just type write and then hit enter.

Subject: Do you need to save the "set" based config? [7:5688]
Hi.. I have a Cat5500 switch. After I changed a config let say
"set vlan 3/5-8 3" then when I do a "sh config" the change already take
place. Why I don't need to do a "write". Beside when I do a "sh run" or
"sh start" it doesn't work. Why it is different from IOS?
What is the different between write mem and write term? When we do a "write"
in IOS it is default to write mem or write term? Do we need to write term in
"Set" based switch to save the config in order for it to remain after
reboot?
