What statement describes a Cisco IOS image with the "universalk9_npe" designation for Cisco ISR G2
routers?
It is an IOS version that can only be used in the United States of America.
It is an IOS version that provides only the IPBase feature set.
It is an IOS version that offers all of the Cisco IOS Software feature sets.
It is an IOS version that, at the request of some countries, removes any strong cryptographic
functionality.
To support Cisco ISR G2 platforms, Cisco provides two types of universal images. The images with the
"universalk9_npe" designation in the image name do not support any strong cryptography functionality
such as payload cryptography to satisfy the import requirements of some countries. The
"universalk9_npe" images include all other Cisco IOS software features.

Which statement describes a difference between the IOS 15.0 extended maintenance release and a
standard maintenance release?
They consist of two separate parallel trains.
The extended maintenance release will deliver new IOS features as soon as they are available.
The standard maintenance release enables faster IOS feature delivery than the extended
maintenance release does.
A new standard maintenance release will synchronize with the latest extended maintenance
release before the extended is made available.
IOS 15.0 use a different release model for the traditional separate mainline and technology trains of
12.4. Instead of diverging into separate trains, Cisco IOS Software 15 M and T will have extended
maintenance (EM) releases and standard maintenance (T) releases single software train. Extended

Maintenance (EM) releases are available approximately every 20 months. Standard maintenance (T
releases) enable faster Cisco feature delivery before the next EM release becomes available. In other
words, there will be several standard maintenance releases between two extended maintenance
releases. An extended maintenance release incorporates the features and hardware support of all the
previous standard maintenance releases. This makes the newer extended maintenance release contain
the full functionality of the train at the time of release.

When a router is powered on, where will the router first search for a valid IOS image to load by default?
RAM
ROM
flash memory
NVRAM
By default, if no boot system commands are in the configuration, a router will load the first valid Cisco
IOS image in flash memory and run it. RAM is active memory that is not used to store image files.
NVRAM stores configuration files. ROM stores a minimal version of the Cisco IOS image that can be used
to provide limited functions if a valid IOS image is not available in flash memory.

The customer of a networking company requires VPN connectivity for workers who must travel
frequently. To support the VPN server, the customer router must be upgraded to a new Cisco IOS
software version with the Advanced IP Services feature set. What should the field engineer do before
copying the new IOS to the router?
Set the router to load the new IOS image file directly from the TFTP server on the next reboot.
Delete the currently installed IOS by using the erase flash: command, and reload the router
Issue the show running-configuration command to determine the features of the currently
installed IOS image file.
Issue the show version and the show flash commands to ensure that the router has enough
memory and file space to support the new IOS image.
The current version of IOS can be verified by using the show version command. Use the Cisco web site
and the Cisco Feature Navigator to determine specific features available within a particular IOS version.

A network administrator configures a router with the command sequence:

R1(config)# boot system tftp://c1900-universalk9-mz.SPA.152-4.M3.bin

R1(config)# boot system rom

What is the effect of the command sequence?

On next reboot, the router will load the IOS image from ROM.
The router will copy the IOS image from the TFTP server and then reboot the system.
The router will load IOS from the TFTP server. If the image fails to load, it will load the IOS image
from ROM.
The router will search and load a valid IOS image in the sequence of flash, TFTP, and ROM.
The boot system command is a global configuration command that allows the user to specify the source
for the Cisco IOS Software image to load. In this case, the router is configured to boot from the IOS
image that is stored on the TFTP server and will use the ROMmon imagethat is located in the ROM if it
fails to locate the TFTP server or fails to load a valid image from the TFTP server.
