• A. The following XML-based NETCONF operations are supported in NX-OS SoftwarE. close- session, copy-config, delete-config, and edit-config.
• B. The following XML-based NETCONF operations are supported in NX-OS SoftwarE. close- session, copy-config, edit-config, and kill-session.
• C. NX-OS Software supports up to a maximum of 16 concurrent XML sessions.
• D. Only show commands are supported via the XML management interface in NX-OS Software.
• E. The NX-OS implementation of the XML-based NETCONF requires SSH to be used for communication with the device.

Correct answer: E

Explanation

The correct answer is E because the NX-OS implementation of XML-based NETCONF indeed mandates SSH for device communication, ensuring secure data transmission. Options A, B, C, and D are incorrect as they either list unsupported operations, misstate session limits, or incorrectly describe the command types allowed through the XML management interface.
