Router Configuration Fundamentals (#1)

Chris Bryant, CCIE #12933

Welcome to a new series of CCNA and CCENT practice exams!

When you're done here, visit my CCNA Tutorials and CCNA 3-Minute Boot Camp pages... and there's plenty of CCNP material on those pages, too.

I post a new CCNA and CCNP practice exam five times a week - for the latest Cisco practice exams, visit the Bulldog Blog!

Let's get to the questions!

1. You've entered Setup Mode. You've made a few changes and would really like to just forget the entire thing. What keystroke will allow you to exit this mode and not save the changes?

A. None - the changes are saved in Setup Mode as you make them.

B. CTRL-C

C. EXIT

D. APPLY

E. CTRL-Z

 

2. You want to overwrite the current starting configuration file with the current running config. What command accomplishes this?

A. copy start run

B. copy run start

C. tftp start run

D. tftp run start

3. If a Cisco router can't find a valid startup config file during the boot process, what happens?

A. The router will boot to the user exec mode.

B. The router prompts you to begin a configuration dialogue.

C. The router will shut down due to the failed POST.

D. The router boots into ROMMON mode.

 

4. Where are a router's POSTs stored?

A. ROM

B. RAM

C. Flash

D. NVRAM

 

5. If you see an interface is "administratively down", what's the first thing you should do?

And now.. the answers!

1. "B". If you're in Setup Mode and want to get out without saving changes, just hit CTRL-C.

 

2. "B".

 

3. "B". The router will prompt you to begin a configuration dialogue, which is a fancy way of saying that it's going to ask you to enter Setup Mode.

 

4. "A". A Cisco router stores its Power-On Self Tests in ROM.

 

5. Run no shutdown, because the "administratively down" message means the interface is shut.

Great work! Now head over to my CCNA Tutorials page for hundreds of additional practice exams, videos, and more!
