Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Cisco DNA Center allows administrators to define a golden image for each device family and automatically enforce compliance.
Why this is correct
Correct because SWIM enables setting a desired image version (golden image) and then checking devices against it, flagging non-compliant ones.
- ✓
Cisco DNA Center can upgrade device images remotely without requiring physical access to the devices.
Why this is correct
Correct because SWIM supports remote image distribution and activation via the network, reducing manual field visits.
- ✗
Cisco DNA Center SWIM requires all devices to have a TFTP server configured locally to receive new images.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect because DNA Center can use HTTP/HTTPS or SCP for image transfer; TFTP is not mandatory.
- ✗
Cisco DNA Center SWIM does not provide any compliance reporting or audit trails for image versions.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect because SWIM generates detailed compliance reports and logs all upgrade activities for auditing.
- ✗
Cisco DNA Center SWIM only supports Cisco Catalyst 9000 series switches and cannot manage older platforms.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect because SWIM supports a wide range of Cisco devices, including ISR, ASR, and Catalyst 3000/4000 series, not just the 9000 series.
