Specifies the non-volatile startup configuration file
## Defaults
The `memory` parameter is optional. A `write` command with no parameters is the same as `write memory`.
## Usage Guidelines
This command copies the running configuration to the startup configuration in non-volatile memory.
When commands are issued in the CLI, they are saved in the running configuration in memory, and take effect immediately. However, they are not written to the startup configuration in non-volatile memory until the `write memory` command is issued. If power is lost or the Island is rebooted, any commands issued since the last `write memory` command will be permanently lost.
Note that changes made using the Island app will automatically cause the running configuration to be written to the startup configuration.
## Examples
```
write memory
write
```
