Implementing Cisco Service Provider Advanced Solutions (SPCOR2) — Question 24

The network operator asks you to change the config setting on one specific host. All 300 hosts are managed with Puppet. Which action results in the requested change?

Answer options

• A. This is an unsupported feature of Puppet, and Chef or Ansible must be used to make this change.
• B. Go to that host and make the config change. Puppet sees the local override and skips that part.
• C. Add an if statement to the Puppet manifest, and add specific config settings, in case Puppet is running on that host.
• D. Add a node-based variable lookup override in Hiera, so that if Puppet runs on that host, it takes the variable from Hiera.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because Puppet does not support making direct configuration changes to a single host while managing multiple hosts as a group. The other options suggest ways to make changes within Puppet’s framework, which are not valid for the specified request.
