Reminds me of a funny story about this.. I was new to Cisco eq, and switches in general. I searched and searched to find out why this was Happening to me. Finally found the answer of port fast. Was I happy ...until the next morning when The config was blank and problem was back. I put the port fast back in and all was well until the next morning. Same thing kept happening for 2 weeks. I was going nuts trying to figure out what was going on until someone Was kind enough to tell me about the mysterious command " write memory ". That fixed the problem for a week or So until one morning I get a call that nobody can log in again. I go to telnet into the switch and I cant reach it. Hmmmmm. Quick walk to the maintenance cage revealed the answer. You see this was a new enclosure that didn't have power directly to it yet, So an extension cord was run to power the 2924's. Turns out that were we plugged into was the location that the night maintenance man Also happened to plug he coffee maker into. Seems he forgot to plug it back in when he left for the night and the cabinet was dead. Since the Building Manager AND the Maintenance Manager all happened to be connected to those switches power was ran that afternoon Like I had originally requested. I bought the night guy a thing of coffee for the assistance!

I believe you are referring to PortFast.
