Palo Alto Networks Certified Network Security Administrator (PCNSA) — Question 174
Prior to a maintenance-window activity, the administrator would like to make a backup of only the running configuration to an external location.
What command in Device > Setup > Operations would provide the most operationally efficient way to achieve this outcome?
Answer options
- A. export named configuration snapshot
- B. save named configuration snapshot
- C. export device state
- D. save candidate config
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The command 'export named configuration snapshot' is the correct choice as it specifically exports the running configuration to an external location, which is the desired outcome. The other options either save configurations locally or involve different types of configurations that do not meet the requirement of backing up the running configuration externally.
