You want to totally reinitialize the router and replace the current running-config with the current startup-config. What command will you use?

A <code class="args"><em>replace run start</em></code>
B <code class="args"><em>copy run start</em></code>
C <code class="args"><em>copy start run</em></code>
D <code class="args"><em>reload</em></code>

Correct Answer: <code class="args"><em>reload</em></code>

To completely replace the running-config with the startup-config, you must reload the router. Note : You may have picked option C, which isn't a bad answer. Remember, though, it doesn't replace the configuration, it appends it.
