Practise exhibit-style questions that ask you to read a topology, table, command output or diagram before choosing the best answer.
Start Scenario PracticeRefer to the exhibit. An engineer configured NX-API on a Nexus 9000 switch. The REST API client receives 'SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN'. What is the most likely cause?
Explanation: The SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN error indicates that the certificate presented by the Nexus 9000 switch does not match the hostname used in the REST API client's request. When NX-API uses HTTPS, the client validates the server's certificate against the requested domain; a mismatch triggers this error. This is a common TLS/SSL certificate validation issue, not a problem with HTTP conflicts, missing keys, or corrupted files.
Refer to the exhibit. A network engineer notices that traffic for VNI 10000 is not being encapsulated. What is the most likely reason?
Explanation: VNI 10000 must be explicitly mapped to an NVE interface under the 'interface nve1' configuration using the 'member vni 10000' command. Without this mapping, the NVE interface does not know which VNI to encapsulate traffic for, even if the VNI exists in the network. Option B correctly identifies this missing configuration as the most likely cause.
Refer to the exhibit. A server connected to Ethernet1/1 is experiencing intermittent connectivity. The server sends BPDUs, causing the switch to place the port into a blocking state. Which configuration change should be made to prevent this while maintaining rapid convergence?
Explanation: Enabling BPDU filter on the interface prevents the switch from processing BPDUs received from the server, which stops the port from being placed into a blocking state due to BPDU reception. This maintains rapid convergence because the port remains configured as an edge port (spanning-tree port type edge trunk), allowing it to transition directly to forwarding without spanning-tree negotiation.
Refer to the exhibit. An administrator notices the blade firmware is outdated. What is the recommended first step to update the blade firmware?
Explanation: Cisco UCS Manager uses firmware management policies to stage firmware updates across blades in a controlled, non-disruptive manner. Staging the update allows the administrator to schedule the activation during a maintenance window, ensuring all blades receive the same firmware version consistently without immediate impact on production traffic.
Refer to the exhibit. What is the intended effect of this Ansible playbook task?
Explanation: The Ansible playbook task uses the `cisco.nxos.nxos_vlans` module with the `state: merged` directive, which ensures that the specified VLAN configuration (VLAN 10 with name 'Automation_VLAN') is present on the target Nexus switches. If VLAN 10 does not exist, it will be created; if it exists with a different name, it will be updated. The `merged` operation does not delete or reboot; it only applies the configuration to align the device's state with the playbook's desired state.
