350-601 Automation Practice Question
A network automation engineer is writing an Ansible playbook to configure Nexus switches. Which three modules are available to manage NX-OS configuration? (Choose three.)
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the distinction between platform-specific Ansible modules (e.g., `nxos_*` vs `ios_*` vs `eos_*`), and the trap here is that candidates may confuse `ios_config` as being compatible with NX-OS due to a superficial similarity in CLI syntax, ignoring the underlying platform-specific module requirements.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
nxos_config
The `nxos_config` module is the primary Ansible module for managing NX-OS device configurations, allowing you to apply, replace, or merge configuration snippets directly onto Nexus switches. It is part of the `cisco.nxos` collection and is specifically designed for NX-OS, unlike `ios_config` which targets Cisco IOS/IOS-XE devices.
