    Hi Rob

     

    I believe you have a stack of Fully Managed switches, M4300 series.

    Yes, configuration is shared across the stack. When there is a configuration change, the settings in running configuration are synchronized across all switches in the stack (stack master = management unit; backup master = standby management unit; stack members = slaves). The same, but independently, the startup configuration file is also shared across all switches in the stack.

     

    But, in a Fully Managed switch, any configuration change must saved in order to see the "running configuration" (show run) saved as "startup configuration" file that will survive the reboot.

     

    I am afraid the configuration wasn't saved in your instance below. I hope this helps.

     

    Regards,
