Toby R.Dec 11, 2025The answer is B, (config) # configuration jump-start, because that is the actual command you run from global config mode to launch the Configuration Wizard on these devices. The other options either use made-up syntax or wrong modes, and "restart clean" does something else entirely.
Hiroshi T.Dec 12, 2025The wizard command is right but worth noting that configuration jump-start availability depends on the platform and IOS-XE version, so candidates should verify this against the specific exam blueprint and device documentation before assuming it works universally.
Carlos M.Nov 26, 2025I went with A first because "configuration wizard start" just reads like the most literal translation of what you're trying to do, and I figured the command would be at privilege exec level since you're initiating something. What tripped me up is the prompt, the (config) # tells you this runs from global config mode, not exec mode, so A is already wrong on syntax alone. Then "jump-start" is the actual Cisco ASA term for this wizard, not "start" or "wizard start", and once I remembered that from the ASA docs it locked in immediately. B is the only one with the right mode prompt and the right keyword together.
Toby R.Nov 28, 2025The jump-start thing is what catches people off guard because Cisco reused that term from the ASA line and it feels arbitrary until you just memorize it, but you nailed the prompt-mode tell as the faster elimination method on test day.
Luis F.Dec 20, 2025So B is right, but does jump-start also reset existing configs or just guide you through a fresh one?
Ingrid P.Dec 2, 2025This one trips people up because two of the wrong options look plausible at a glance, which is exactly why it earns a card with a short interval until you can nail the prompt prefix and the exact keyword cold. The mode indicator is your first filter: anything showing a bare "#" is privileged exec, not global config, so A and C are already out before you read the rest of the line. Between the remaining options, the keyword "jump-start" is the one the exam expects, not "wizard start" or anything with "restart," and mixing those up in the wrong direction costs you a point. I flag this as a two-part card in my deck, one side testing the mode prefix and the other side testing the exact verb, because the two facts have different forgetting curves. Quick question for the thread: does the wizard actually require you to be in global config mode before invoking it, or can you enter it from privileged exec with a different syntax? I have seen conflicting notes in older study guides and I want to make sure my card captures the real constraint rather than an exam artifact.
Hiroshi T.Dec 6, 2025Saw this exact wording on my sitting last spring and almost clicked A out of reflex because "wizard start" sounds intuitive, but the official ASA CLI guide is clear that the jump-start wizard is invoked from global config mode as "configuration jump-start", so B is the one. The "(config) #" prompt tells you everything, the command only works after you are already in configuration mode, and that detail alone rules out A, C, and E in one shot.
