What are two characteristics of RAM on a Cisco device? (Choose two.)

  • RAM provides nonvolatile storage.
  • The configuration that is actively running on the device is stored in RAM.
  • The contents of RAM are lost during a power cycle.
  • RAM is a component in Cisco switches but not in Cisco routers.
  • RAM is able to store multiple versions of IOS and configuration files

The correct answer is these two:

  • The configuration that is actively running on the device is stored in RAM.
  • The contents of RAM are lost during a power cycle.
Explanation:  RAM contains data that the device needs to run its network functions. RAM is used to store the operating configuration. Because data is lost after a power cycle, this sort of memory is referred to as volatile memory. When a device is powered on, flash memory stores the IOS and delivers a copy of it to RAM. Because it preserves recorded data even when power is lost, flash memory is nonvolatile.
