This is the saved configuration file that is stored in NVRAM. It contains all the commands that will be used by the device upon startup or reboot. Flash does not lose its contents when the device is powered off.
startup-config
This is stored in Random Access Memory (RAM). It reflects the current configuration. Modifying a running configuration affects the operation of a Cisco device immediately. RAM is volatile memory. It loses all of its content when the device is powered off or restarted.
running-config
The show running-config privileged EXEC mode command is used to
view the running config
a 32-bit value that differentiates the network portion of the address from the host portion
IPv4 subnet mask
The structure of an IPv4 address is called
dotted decimal notation
the IP address of the router that the host will use to access remote networks, including the internet.
The default gateway address
How is an IPv4 address represented?
four decimal numbers between 0 and 22 separated by periods.
What type of interface has no physical port associated with it?
switch virtual interface (SVI)
how to manually configure an IPv4 address on a Windows host, you open the….
Control Panel > Network Sharing Center > Change adapter settings and choose the adapter.
Then right-click and select Properties to display the Local Area Connection Properties.

What is the function of the shell in an OS?
Interfaces between the users and the kernel.
A router with a valid operating system contains a configuration file stored in NVRAM. The configuration file has an enable secret password but no console password. When the router boots up, which mode will display?
user EXEC mode
An administrator has just changed the IP address of an interface on an IOS device. What else must be done in order to apply those changes to the device?
