Designing Cisco Data Center Infrastructure (DCID) — Question 125

A customer requires a tool to manage Cisco network hardware. The solution must use secure communication using a secure network protocol, support the use of declarative language to manage the state of resources, and periodically pull changes to the controlled nodes. Which tool meets these requirements?

Answer options

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Puppet is the correct choice as it provides a robust framework for managing configurations using a declarative language, ensures secure communication, and can pull changes from controlled nodes periodically. Ansible and SaltStack also offer configuration management but do not fully align with the requirement for secure communication in the same way Puppet does. Nornir is primarily a framework for network automation and does not focus on configuration management with a declarative language.
