Implementing and Operating Cisco Data Center Core Technologies (DCCOR) — Question 353

A company with a small network team purchases 10 Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switches for a network refresh. Some elements of the existing network infrastructure will be retained including DHCP and DNS servers. The company wants the network team to use PowerOn Auto Provisioning (POAP) to configure the switches, but the team only has experience with manual configuration.

Which two additional network infrastructure components must be configured to use POAP? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. NETBOOT host discovery
• B. GIT server
• C. SCP file repository
• D. TFTP script server
• E. SNMP trap receiver

Correct answer: C, D

Explanation

To utilize PowerOn Auto Provisioning (POAP), the network must have a TFTP script server to provide the necessary configuration scripts and an SCP file repository for storing the configuration files. The other options, such as NETBOOT host discovery and GIT server, do not directly support the POAP process, making C and D the accurate choices.
