Answer 1

While trying to solve a network issue, a technician made multiple changes to the current router configuration file. The changes did not solve the problem and were not saved. The technician can Issue the reload command without saving the running configuration.

Explanation:

• The technician does not want to make any mistakes trying to remove all the changes that were done to the running configuration file.
• The solution is to reboot the router without saving the running configuration. The copy startup-config running-configcommand does not overwrite the running configuration file with the configuration file stored in NVRAM, but rather it just has an additive effect.
• Configuration change control is a set of processes and approval stages required to change a configuration item's attributes and to re-baseline them.
• Configuration status accounting is the ability to record and report on the configuration baselines associated with each configuration item at any moment of time.
• The Manage System Configuration screen allows you to download, save, switch, revert and delete system configuration files.
• Configuration Control is the activity of managing the product and related documents, throughout the lifecycle of the product.
