Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
EEM Python applets can execute CLI commands on the Nexus switch.
EEM with Python applets allows event-driven automation on-box. Python applets can run without external scripting, and they can react to events like syslog messages. EEM applets do not require an external server; they run on the switch. Python applets support libraries like cisco_nxapi, but EEM itself does not require a separate Python environment.
