Which statement about Flash memory is true?

The correct answer is C. The contents of Flash survive when a device reboots or powers down. In HPE Aruba switch operation, the active configuration used by the device while it is running is the running configuration. The startup configuration is the saved configuration that is preserved and used after reboot. HPE Aruba documentation explains that saving the running configuration writes it to the startup configuration file in Flash memory, allowing the configuration to remain after the switch reboots. This confirms that Flash is nonvolatile storage. HPE Aruba AOS-CX documentation also describes eMMC or SSD switch storage as nonvolatile memory used for persistent storage of configurations, files, databases, and scripts. Option A is incorrect because switch Flash storage is not normally expanded by adding extra Flash for configuration storage. Option B is incorrect because the running configuration is held as the active operating configuration, not simply “Flash.” Option D is incorrect because show running-config displays the current running configuration, not the saved startup configuration stored in Flash.
