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).

Where does the router running configuration reside?

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.


How do you save running configurations on router?

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.
