Implementing and Operating Cisco Data Center Core Technologies (DCCOR) — Question 476

An engineer must implement an automation solution to allow the backup of the configuration of Cisco Nexus Series Switches to a centralized location. The solution must:
* support the team-developed custom monitoring scripts that are packaged using RPM packaging that the framework must support.
* be decoupled from the underlying Cisco Nexus operating system.
* have no impact on the operating system of the underlying switch if the resource contention occurs.
* use Python to expand the existing automation framework.
Which solution meets these requirements?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The Guest Shell is designed to run applications and scripts in a separate environment on Cisco devices, making it ideal for this scenario as it supports RPM packages and Python, ensuring no impact on the underlying OS. The other options, such as Bash Shell, TCL Shell, and Vegas Shell, do not provide the necessary isolation or support for RPM packaging and Python integration, making them unsuitable for this requirement.
