Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
First assign interfaces to zones, then create class-map, then create policy-map, then create zone-pair, then apply the policy to the zone-pair.
Why this is correct
This is the correct order because you must define zones and assign interfaces before you can classify traffic (class-map), define actions (policy-map), pair zones (zone-pair), and finally apply the policy to the zone-pair.
- ✗
First create class-map, then create policy-map, then assign interfaces to zones, then create zone-pair, then apply the policy.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because you need to have zones defined and interfaces assigned before you create class-maps and policy-maps, as the policy-map references the zones indirectly through the zone-pair.
- ✗
First create zone-pair, then assign interfaces to zones, then create class-map, then create policy-map, then apply the policy.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because a zone-pair requires zones to already exist. You must assign interfaces to zones before creating the zone-pair, and you need class-map and policy-map before you can apply a policy to the zone-pair.
- ✗
First assign interfaces to zones, then create zone-pair, then create class-map, then create policy-map, then apply the policy.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because you must create class-map and policy-map before applying a policy to a zone-pair. The zone-pair references a policy-map, so the policy-map must exist first.
