Is WR TERM and SHOW CONFIG the same thing?

In IOS-based routers, "wr term" shows the running configuration, equivalent to "show running", while "show config" shows the startup configuration. I'm guessing that PIX is similar.

It should be the same, however i'd suggest you install a free tftp server (there are tons of them) to save you some typing and typoes. write net sould save you sime time.

A: No. Q: Should I include quotations after my reply?

show config is the equivalent of show startup-config. wr term is the equivalent of show running-config. After a write mem, they become the same.

While these perform functionally the same thing (after write mem), they may not be what you want. For example, if you have any ipsec configs in there, your isakmp key will not be displayed, you will just see ********. However, if you do a write net, the actual config will get saved. So, I would say, get a tftp server and do a write net. Freebie available at solarwinds.net.

Hope that helps,
