lowest four bits

Suggested answer: D

Explanation:

The configuration register on Cisco devices is a 16-bit value, typically represented in hexadecimal notation (e.g., 0x2102). The lowest four bits (bits 0-3) of this value are designated as the boot field.

The Boot Field's Importance:

The boot field determines how the device will load its operating system (Cisco IOS) during the startup process. Here's a basic breakdown of common boot field values:

0x0: Stay at the ROMmon prompt.

0x1: Boot from ROM (often used for troubleshooting or recovery).

0x2 - 0xF: Load the operating system based on settings in the startup configuration (NVRAM) or from a network server if specified.

Example:

A configuration register value of 0x2102 indicates that the boot field is 0x2 (the last digit). This is a common default setting, instructing the device to load the Cisco IOS image from Flash memory.
