Implementing and Operating Cisco Data Center Core Technologies (DCCOR) — Question 277

A network engineer needs a solution that simplifies the initial deployment of Cisco Nexus Series Switches. The solution must support these requirements:

• zero-touch provisioning
• configuration through DHCP options
• initial configuration from a central TFTP server
• no manual configuration management after the initial installation

Which technology supports these goals?

Answer options

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, POAP (Power-On Auto Provisioning), which is designed specifically for zero-touch provisioning and can automatically configure switches using DHCP and TFTP. Ansible, Cisco Intersight, and Chef are automation and management tools, but they do not provide the same level of seamless, initial deployment capabilities as POAP.
