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

✓

The applet will copy the running configuration to the TFTP server every 24 hours.

The applet uses a watchdog timer event that triggers every 86400 seconds (24 hours). When triggered, it copies the running configuration to a TFTP server. This is a valid configuration for periodic backup.

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 applet will copy the running configuration to the TFTP server every 24 hours.

    Why this is correct

    Correct. The watchdog timer triggers the applet every 86400 seconds, and the CLI command copies the running config to the TFTP server.

  • ✗

    The applet will copy the startup configuration instead of the running configuration.

    Why it's wrong here

    Incorrect. The command 'copy running-config' copies the running configuration, not the startup configuration.

  • ✗

    The applet will fail because the TFTP server IP address is not reachable.

    Why it's wrong here

    Incorrect. The configuration is valid; reachability is a runtime issue, not a configuration error.

  • ✗

    The applet will only trigger once because the watchdog timer is a one-shot timer.

    Why it's wrong here

    Incorrect. The watchdog timer by default repeats; to make it one-shot, the 'repeat' keyword must be set to 0.
