Study for the Cisco CCNA certification and win cash

We are announcing a new contest, free to all.

All correct answers will be entered in a drawing for a grand prize valued
at $70 ($50 cash transfer + 1 week rental CCNA pod), and four other prizes
for free rental of our Cisco CCNA lab. No need to fill out any forms.

To enter connect to your free demo pod at


http://www.gambitcommunications.com/contest/

and win the contest by answering this question:

1) log onto the console of "Switch 2" and reset the running config using
these commands:

erase nvram:
reload

2) once the device reboots, implement the configuration to connect it
to both uplink switches and "Router 2".

NOTE: Saving the running config before the reload and restoring it
afterwards is NOT what we are looking for!

3) verify connectivity with 3 ping commands.

What are the commands necessary for steps 2 and 3?


Hint: you only need to execute commands on switch2.
