A.
This prompt signifies that the configuration file was not found in NVRAM. The network administrator should follow the prompts to enter a basic configuration.
B.
The prompt signifies that the configuration file was not found in flash memory. The network administrator should use TFTP to transfer a configuration file to the router.
C.

The default boot sequence for Cisco IOS software:
1. NVRAM
2. Flash (sequential)
3. TFTP seiver (network boot)
4. ROM (partial IOS)
If a router boots up in ROM mode as shown in this example, it means that the router was unsuccessfully able to find a valid IOS to boot from, and a valid IOS image will need to be loaded onto it.
