The router's running configuration resides in its volatile memory (RAM). This configuration is the active set of settings that the router uses to operate and can be modified dynamically. However, it is lost when the router is powered down or restarted, unless it is saved to the non-volatile memory (NVRAM) as the startup configuration.
The commands that are displayed determine the current operation of the router.

The router command used to copy the running configuration to NVRAM is copy running-config startup-config. This command saves the current active configuration so that it will be retained after a reboot. You can also use the shorthand version wr (short for "write memory") to achieve the same result.
The running configuration on a router or switch is stored in the device's RAM (Random Access Memory) while it is running. It's a temporary configuration that is lost when the device is powered off or restarted. To view the running configuration, you can use the "show running-config" command in the device's CLI (Command Line Interface).

To save the running configuration on a router, you typically use the command copy running-config startup-config in the privileged EXEC mode. This command copies the current configuration stored in RAM (running-config) to NVRAM (startup-config), ensuring that the configuration is retained after a reboot. Alternatively, you can use the shorthand command write memory. Always confirm the save by checking the startup configuration with the show startup-config command.

It depends on model. Some models can save some data without reloading, some can't. Thus you can have partially configured router or not configured at all. But reloading is not going to damage your router.

This is an incomplete command. However, this indicates that the running configuration will be saved on the device to a different location.
