CCIE Data Center (legacy) — Question 90

Which result is true if you export a configuration backup with AES encryption enabled, disable the AES encryption policy on the APIC, and then try to reimport the previously exported configuration file?

Answer options

• A. The import task succeeds, and all properties are imported.
• B. The import task prompts the user for the AES passphrase.
• C. The import task fails.
• D. The import task succeeds, but only secure properties are not imported.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because when AES encryption is disabled on the APIC, any secure properties that were encrypted cannot be imported. Option A is incorrect as not all properties will be imported. Option B is wrong because no passphrase will be required if AES is disabled. Option C is also incorrect since the import can succeed, but it will not include secure properties.
