What is a feature of Cisco Meraki switches that simplifies the replacement process?
Correct : D
Cloud-based management is a core feature of Cisco Meraki switches and significantly simplifies the device replacement process. When a failed switch is replaced:
The new hardware can be claimed in the Meraki dashboard.
The previously assigned configuration is automatically applied to the replacement device.
This eliminates the need for local reconfiguration and ensures continuity with minimal manual effort.
This centralized approach ensures that configurations are stored securely and consistently applied across devices.

Which command is used to specify the source for the Cisco IOS software image to load during the boot process?
Correct : B
The boot system command is used in global configuration mode to specify the source and filename of the Cisco IOS software image that should be loaded during the device's boot process. This command ensures that the device loads a specific IOS image, whether it's stored locally in flash or fetched from a TFTP server.
Syntax example:
boot system flash:c1900-universalk9-mz.SPA.157-3.M3.bin
boot image, boot ios, and boot source are invalid or non-existent in standard Cisco IOS.

[Device Configuration and Verification]
Refer to the exhibit. Which CLI show command identifies the serial number on a router?
Correct : A
The show inventory command is used on Cisco devices to display detailed information about the hardware components installed, including:
Product Identifier (PID)
Serial Number (SN)
Description of the component
In the exhibit, the output clearly shows:
NAME: 'Chassis', DESCR: 'Cisco ISR4451-X/K9'
PID: ISR4451-X/K9, VID: V01, SN: FCW2134L0SH
This confirms that show inventory is the correct command to retrieve the serial number and hardware inventory details.
show version provides some system information and sometimes includes serial numbers, but it's not as reliable or detailed for component-level hardware info.
show idprom is not commonly used and not supported on all platforms.
show platform provides platform-specific info but not typically the serial number.

What is the purpose of the chassis in a blade server environment?
Correct : D
In a blade server environment, the chassis serves as the enclosure that houses multiple blade servers. It provides shared power, cooling, and connectivity resources. Blade servers are compact server modules that insert into the chassis, and the shared infrastructure makes the entire system efficient in space, power, and management.
The chassis does not act as a switch or storage array itself but provides interconnects and sometimes integrated networking components.

[Cisco IOS Software Basics]
Which command is used to determine if there is sufficient space in the memory of a device before installing a new Cisco IOS image?
Correct : D
The show flash: command is used to display the contents of the device's flash memory, which is where the Cisco IOS image is typically stored. By issuing this command, a technician can verify available space and determine whether there is enough capacity to accommodate a new IOS image before initiating an upgrade or image replacement process.
This command provides a detailed listing of files, their sizes, and the total and available memory space within the flash file system.
show file-system lists all available file systems but doesn't detail their content.
show memory shows runtime memory usage (RAM), not flash memory.
show storage is not a standard IOS command.
