bootstrap program?
What are the 2 main places to
find the IOS?
If a full IOS can not be loaded
what does the bootstrap loader
do?
Where is the startup
configuration found?
What are the main items stored
in the configuration file?
Where is the second place that
the router looks for the startup
config if it is not located in
NVRAM?
If the router can not locate a
startup-config, what mode does
it enter?

press to exit setup mode if you
accidentally entered it?

help verify and troubleshoot
some of the basic hardware
and software components of
the router?

each interface?
What are the two major groups
of router interfaces?
What OSI layer does a router
operate at?
What is the router interface that
connects to a LAN called?

router uses to determine where
to send the packet?

What would a C in the first
column of a routing table
mean?

included when the destination
is a remote network?
What command reveals the
configured or acquired default
gateway, connected, loopback,
multicast, and broadcast
networks?
How does a PC determine
which network it belongs to?
What command will activate a
router interface?
What routes does a router
know before any static or
dynamic routing is configured?
What denotes a static route in
the routing table?
What are the three items that
must be included in a static
route?
When should static routes be
used?

What are some dynamic
routing protocols?
What are the three routing
principles?
What is asymmetric routing?

packet must travel through
before reaching its destination
is called?
The data capacity of a link,
sometimes referred to as the
speed of the link?

paths to a destination have
exactly the same metric?

balancing?
What are the two functions of
packet forwarding?
What is the process used by a
router to accept a packet on
one interface and forward it out
another interface called?

a router performs on a packet?

change as the packet moves
through the network?

packet moves through the
network?

which network it belongs to?
How does it determine if the
destination is on the same
network?
