Backgroun
nd / Scenarrio
Before sta
arting a CCNA
A hands-on la
ab that makes
s use of eithe r a Cisco router or switch, ensure that tthe
devices in
n use have be
een erased an
nd have no sttartup configu
urations prese
ent. Otherwise
e, the results of your
lab may be
b unpredictab
ble. This lab provides
p
a de
etail procedure
e for initializin
ng and reload
ding a Cisco router and
a Cisco sw
witch.
Note: The
e routers used
d with CCNA hands-on lab
bs are Cisco 1
1941 Integrate
ed Services R
Routers (ISRss) with
Cisco IOS
S Release 15..2(4)M3 (univ
versalk9 image). The switch
hes used are
e Cisco Catalyyst 2960s with
h Cisco
IOS Relea
ase 15.0(2) (lanbasek9 ima
age). Other ro
outers, switch
hes, and Ciscco IOS version
ns can be use
ed.
Depending on the mod
del and Cisco IOS version, the comman

Reflection
1. Why is it necessary to erase the startup configuration before reloading the router?
2. You find a couple configurations issues after saving the running configuration to the startup configuration, so
you make the necessary changes to fix those issues. If you were to reload the device now, what configuration
would be restored to the device after the reload?
