CCNA Security Question of the Week: Global Configuration Command

Reveal Answer

Answer: C.

To take a snapshot of the router running configuration and securely archive it in persistent storage, use the secure boot-config command in global configuration mode. Like the image, the configuration archive is hidden and cannot be viewed or removed directly from the command-line interface (CLI) prompt. It is recommended that you run this command after the router has been fully configured to reach a steady state of operation and the running configuration is considered complete for a restoration, if required.
