After making configuration changes on a Cisco switch, a network administrator issues a copy running-config startup-config
command. What is the result of issuing this command?
The current IOS file will be replaced with the newly configured file.
The configuration changes will be removed and the original configuration will be restored.
The new configuration will be loaded if the switch is restarted.
The new configuration will be stored in flash memory.
How is SSH different from Telnet?
SSH must be configured over an active network connection, whereas Telnet is used to connect to a device from a console connection.
SSH provides security to remote sessions by encrypting messages and using user authentication. Telnet is considered insecure and sends messages in plaintext.
SSH requires the use of the PuTTY terminal emulation program. Tera Term must be used to connect to devices through the use of Telnet.
SSH makes connections over the network, whereas Telnet is for out-of-band access.
What are two characteristics of RAM on a Cisco device? (Choose two.)
RAM provides nonvolatile storage.
The contents of RAM are lost during a power cycle.
RAM is able to store multiple versions of IOS and configuration files.
RAM is a component in Cisco switches but not in Cisco routers.
The configuration that is actively running on the device is stored in RAM.
