Implementing Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (DCACI) — Question 299

An engineer must securely export Cisco APIC configuration snapshots to a secure, offsite location. The exported configuration must be transferred using an encrypted tunnel and encoded with a platform-agnostic data format that provides namespace support. Which configuration set must be used?

Answer options

• A. Policy: Export Policy - Protocol: TLS - Format: JSON
• B. Policy: Import Policy - Protocol: TLS - Format: XML
• C. Policy: Import Policy - Protocol: SCP - Format: JSON
• D. Policy: Export Policy - Protocol: SCP - Format: XML

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because it specifies an Export Policy with SCP, which is suitable for securely transferring files, along with XML format that provides namespace support. Options A and B use TLS, which is not the required protocol for exporting configurations in this case. Option C uses the wrong policy type (Import) and has the incorrect protocol (SCP) for the scenario described.
