Welcome to the community!
Yes configuration lives in non-volatile memory, when it's saved. Until it is saved, it is in RAM only.

Please let us know if this was the burden or not

Thanks for the swift reply. I am using the WEB gui to make basic changes (admin password, unit's IP address) and using the SAVE button on the page.

Doh!

Thank you for your very valuable time.

Apply ----- Save
Make it happen ------ Write it up to startup-config
