Introducing Cisco Data Center Networking (DCICN) — Question 43

The kickstart image is corrupted on a Cisco Nexus 7000 switch. Which procedure is used to download a new kickstart image?

Answer options

• A. Boot the system and press Ctrl-] while the memory test is in progress to interrupt the boot loader.
• B. Boot the system and press the Esc key while the memory test is in progress to interrupt the boot loader.
• C. Boot the system and press the Esc key after the BIOS memory test to interrupt the boot loader.
• D. Boot the system and press Ctrl-] after the BIOS memory test to interrupt the boot loader.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because you need to press the Esc key after the BIOS memory test has completed in order to access the boot loader to download a new image. Options A and B suggest pressing the keys during the memory test, which is not the correct timing, and option D incorrectly suggests pressing Ctrl-] after the BIOS test, which is not the right key for this process.
