Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI v10) — Question 171

Where is the startup configuration located on a router?

Answer options

• A. Static RAM
• B. BootROM
• C. NVRAM
• D. Dynamic RAM

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The startup configuration is stored in NVRAM, which retains data even when the router is powered off. Static RAM and Dynamic RAM are types of volatile memory that lose their data when the power is turned off, while BootROM is used for the initial booting process and does not store the startup configuration.
