Here are the answers to the above questions!

1. (B). IOS Images are stored in Flash.

2. (D). A router's startup configuration file is kept in Non-Volatile RAM (NVRAM). The contents of NVRAM are not lost on reload.

3. (A). A router's running configuration file is kept in RAM. The contents of RAM are lost on reload.

4. (A). A router will first attempt to load an IOS Image from Flash. If none is found, it will look to a TFTP Server. If no TFTP Server has been defined, the router will look to its ROM for an image.

5. To change that default order defined in Question 4, you'll need to change the configuration register value, which should always be done with care. A lot of care. :)

6. Use <CTRL-C> to leave Setup Mode without saving any configuration you've written to that point.

7. (A, D). The "t" in "conf t" stands for Terminal. When both an enable password and enable secret have been set, the enable secret takes precedence. The enable secret will be encrypted by default while the enable password will appear in clear text in the configuration file.

8. (D). To see the current configuration register setting, run the show version command. You'll see the config register value at the very bottom of that command's output.

9. (A). To make a configuration register change take effect, you will need to reload the router.

10. That router is in Setup Mode.
