for this you will find answers in all the forum...
You can reload: "reload working no rollback-timeout"
or you can use "copy certified working"

Depends which config do you need more (stored in working or running).

My wish is to use the "running" version and therefore to save it.
What would be the command to run?
Thanks for your answer.

If I understand correctly, your solution makes me lose the running config?

The solution to keep my running config could be that :
"copy certified working"
(now certified and working are the same and you are now in working mode)
write memory
is it ok for you ?

Then i made like that :

Code: Select all

ERROR: Write memory is not permitted when switch is running in certified mode

Code: Select all

copy certified working
"Certified" and "Working" are now identical and the switch is in "Working" mode

Code: Select all

write memory 

Code: Select all

copy working certified
or

Code: Select all

copy working certified flash-synchro
for a stack

Is it the good way to keep running config ?
Thanks for your help

copy certified working
modify running-directory working
write memory flash-synchro

That works for me most of the time, worst case scenario, I reload the switches from working.

modify running-directory working is for switches with AOS R8.
For R6 you need only the copy-command

Yes Silvio, I failed to mention that. I overlooked the fact that he is dealing with OS6250s.
