Arista Certified Engineer – Associate (ACE-A) — Question 10

If the SWI= statement in the boot-config file is invalid, what will happen when the switch reboots?

Answer options

• A. The switch will not boot EOS, and will instead enter Aboot.
• B. The switch will load the first SWI image it finds on flash:
• C. The switch will power off.
• D. The switch will reboot itself and try again.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because when the SWI= statement is invalid, the switch defaults to loading the first available SWI image from flash. Option A is incorrect as the switch does not enter Aboot in this scenario. Option C is wrong since the switch does not power off, and option D is also incorrect as the switch does not reboot itself to retry loading an invalid SWI.
