Thanks for the info !!
From the 10.04.0030 RELEASE NOTES:
"ConfigCR_72205
Symptom: The switch configuration is not saved.
Scenario: After issuing the write memory command and then removing power from the switch, the switch configuration may not be saved properly.
Workaround: Use the sync command prior to removing power from the switch."
Excuse my ignorance...I cannot find the context for the SYNC command referenced in the 10.04.0030 release notes. I have had the "not saved" problem.
Thanks in advance.
