Hello, I am relatively new to cisco and I preatty much always do
config t/ write mem for all my changes, I have a router in CA that has an interface in half-duplex. I am affraid that when i change it to full duplex i will get disconnected. Is there a way to reset the configuration back to half-duplex, by turning on/off the router. should i do config something else? or write run instead mem.
thanks.
Tell the router to reload in 5 minutes...
reload in 5

Ah, and more importantly... "reload cancel" when you're done! :)

The key here is that there are as you suspect two configs.
conf t some commands exit [or ^Z]
edits the running-config.
copy running-config startup-c OR wr mem
copies the running-config to the startup-config.
So:-
To solve your problem
use reload in 10
change the config with "conf t" .... This has IMMEDIATE effect with almost all commands (or even more commands than that).
If you are happy with the changes "wr mem" AND cancel the reload with "reload cancel" before the 10 minutes are up.
If it all goes awry wait
