Designing Cisco Data Center Infrastructure (DCID) — Question 72

A network design must include a solution to run CLI commands remotely on Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switches. The customer's security policy requires secure login credentials and an encrypted underlying transport. The command output will be processed rising tools that support XML or JSON encoding.

Which two components should be included in the design? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. NX-API
• B. HTTPS
• C. HTTP
• D. Bash shell
• E. SSH

Correct answer: A, B

Explanation

NX-API is essential as it allows remote execution of commands and supports XML/JSON output formats. HTTPS is necessary to meet the security policy for encrypted transport and secure login. HTTP does not provide encryption, Bash shell is not relevant for this context, and while SSH offers secure access, it does not support the required output formats.
