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.

Set the 'Device Override' to 'Disabled' in the SCM container settings.
In SCM, the 'Inheritance' and 'Push' model ensures that central policies are enforced on target devices.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Enable 'Local Policy Precedence' on all firewalls.
Why it's wrong here
This would allow local policies to override SCM, the opposite of the requirement.
- ✓
Set the 'Device Override' to 'Disabled' in the SCM container settings.
Why this is correct
Disabling device overrides ensures that local changes cannot deviate from the pushed SCM policy.
- ✗
Disable 'Management Plane Access' for local admins.
Why it's wrong here
This prevents local management but doesn't handle policy inheritance.
- ✗
Configure 'Auto-Commit' on every firewall.
Why it's wrong here
Auto-commit does not control policy precedence.
