A Cisco router can have multiple connections to networks. These connections are known as interfaces for Cisco Routers. For naming each interface, Cisco generally uses the type of interface as part of the name.

Following are some of the naming conventions of Cisco Router interfaces:

An Ethernet interface that is fast always starts with an F.

An interface connected to a serial connection always starts with an S.

An interface connected to an Ethernet segment of the network always starts with an E.

An interface connected to a Token Ring segment always starts with To.

A) Secure the boot configuration - that's the way to go, my friend. Wouldn't want any of those pesky hackers messing with my router's boot process, now would we?

I'm gonna have to go with A) Secure the boot configuration. Restoring an archived primary bootset? Sounds like more work than just securing the boot config and calling it a day.

As a security admin, I'd definitely choose A) Secure the boot configuration. Gotta make sure that boot process is locked down tight, you know? Can't have any funny business happening there.

I'd go with A) Secure the boot configuration. Verifying the security of the bootset and enabling image resilience don't seem directly relevant to the task of archiving the running configuration.
