HPE Aruba Certified Professional (ACP) – SD-WAN — Question 96

In an attempt to clear the switch configuration, you’ve issued the command erase all zeroized. What is the result of this task?

Answer options

• A. The switch runs a secure erase task, deleting all customer data, and may run up to an hour.
• B. The switch clears all user credentials and retains the running configuration.
• C. The switch restores the factory-installed AOS-CX image to the switch.
• D. The switch runs a secure erase task, deleting the startup-config, and retains admin credential password.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as the command erase all zeroized initiates a secure erase process that deletes all customer data and may require significant time to complete. Options B and D are incorrect because they suggest that user credentials or the startup-config are retained, which is not the case with this command. Option C is also wrong since the command does not revert to the factory image.
