What is the purpose of restoring a configuration from a backup on a Cisco data center switch?

To enable additional routing protocols on the switch

To upgrade the switch's operating system to a newer version

To clear all configuration and return the switch to factory defaults

To revert the switch to a previously known-good configuration state after a misconfiguration or failure

A data center team needs to implement configuration archiving for all Nexus switches. The archive must be stored on a remote server, and the team wants to be able to compare configurations over time to detect unauthorized changes. Which approach should be used?

Use an external script to periodically copy the running config from each switch to a Git repository.

Configure the 'archive' feature on each switch with a path to an SCP server and enable 'log config' to record changes.

Use the 'show running-config' command and save the output to a local file on the switch.

Use the 'copy running-config startup-config' command on each switch to save the config.

What is the main purpose of a change management process in network configuration management?

To control and document configuration changes to minimize risk and ensure accountability

To eliminate the need for configuration backups

To automatically revert any configuration change that causes a performance drop

To increase the speed of configuration changes by bypassing approvals

A data center engineer needs to back up the startup configuration of a Nexus 9000 switch to a remote server every night. The backup must be timestamped and retained for 30 days. The engineer wants to use the built-in feature of the switch without additional scripts. Which action should the engineer take?

Use the 'copy running-config startup-config' command in a cron job on the switch to save the config locally each night.

Configure a periodic archive using the 'archive' command with a path to a TFTP server and a timestamp in the filename.

Schedule a Python script on an external server to SSH into the switch and execute 'show running-config' every night, saving the output locally.

Enable the 'configuration replace' feature to automatically roll back to a previous config each night.
