Implementing Cisco Storage Area Networking (DCSAN) — Question 19

Which component is initially responsible for loading the kickstart image on Cisco MDS Switches?

Answer options

• A. ROMMON
• B. BIOS
• C. NX-OS
• D. BASH

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, NX-OS, as it is the operating system that manages the switch's functions, including loading the kickstart image. ROMMON (A) is a low-level firmware environment, BIOS (B) is not applicable in this context, and BASH (D) is a command-line shell not responsible for loading the operating system.
