config file. (show config does not include ports that have only default settings
in the startup-config file.)
Syntax: show config

non-default configuration settings.

only port A1. Executing write
mem after entering the name for
port A2, and then executing
show config again would result
in a listing that includes both
Listing includes friendly
port name for port A1
only.
