Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
The 'action cli command' can execute any EXEC mode command, including 'show' commands and 'ping'.
Why this is correct
Correct. 'action cli command' can execute any valid EXEC command.
- ✓
The 'action syslog' command sends a syslog message with a default facility of local7 and severity of informational.
Why this is correct
Correct. The default facility is local7 and severity is 6 (informational).
- ✗
The 'action snmp-trap' command can send an SNMP trap without any additional configuration if the device has an SNMP community set.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. The 'action snmp-trap' requires an OID and data to be specified; it does not send arbitrary traps without configuration.
- ✗
The 'action mail' command can be used to send an email notification from an EEM applet.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. EEM does not support 'action mail'; email notifications require external scripting or Tcl policies.
- ✗
The 'action cli command' can be used to enter global configuration mode and execute configuration commands directly.
Why it's wrong here
