Supporting Cisco Routing and Switching Network Devices (RSTECH, legacy) — Question 1

While performing password recovery on a Cisco device, the configuration register should be which value in order to bypass loading the startup configuration?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct value to bypass loading the startup configuration is 0x2142, as this tells the device to ignore the saved configuration in NVRAM during the boot process. The other options, such as 0x2102, are used for normal operation and will load the startup configuration, which is not desired in a password recovery scenario.
