Implementing Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (DCACI) — Question 289

An engineer must configure an export policy that regularly backs up Cisco APIC configuration to a remote location. The backup must be sent by using a secure and encrypted protocol. Which configuration set must be used?

Answer options

• A. Configure the export policy with the required export destination. Set the export destination as TLS. Configure the scheduler with a maximum number of nodes.
• B. Configure the export policy with the required export destination. Set the export destination as SSH. Set the scheduler settings to recurring.
• C. Configure the export policy with the required export destination. Set the export destination as SCP. Set the scheduler settings to recurring.
• D. Configure the export policy with the required export destination. Set the export destination as AES. Configure the scheduler with a maximum number of nodes.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because SCP (Secure Copy Protocol) is designed for secure file transfers and is suitable for backing up configurations. Option A is incorrect as TLS is a protocol for securing communications but not specifically for file transfers. Option B uses SSH, which is secure but not as efficient for automated backups compared to SCP. Option D incorrectly suggests AES, which is an encryption standard rather than a transfer protocol.
