Wait, is "save" actually a valid command on Arista?

I’m pretty confident that "copy running-config startup-config" is correct, but I’m torn between "save" and "write" for the other one.

"Write" and "copy running-config startup-config" - those are the two commands I'm confident about for this Arista switch question. I remember covering those in my study materials.

Okay, let's see here. I think the two commands are "write" and "save memory". That sounds right, but I'll double-check my notes just to be sure.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know there are a few different ways to save config changes on Cisco switches, but I'm not as familiar with the Arista commands. I'll have to think this through carefully.

I'm pretty sure the two commands are "write" and "copy running-config startup-config". Those seem like the most logical options for saving changes on an Arista switch.

I'm a bit unsure about this one. I'll need to review my notes on Cisco ISE APIs to make sure I select the right choices. Guessing won't help me here.

Haha, 'save memory'? Really? I think that option D was created by someone who just really loves their RAM!

I'm gonna go with B as well. Though I have to say, 'copy running-config startup-config' is quite a mouthful. Why can't they just call it 'save' like normal people?
