EX294 Manage task execution and roles Practice Question
This EX294 practice question tests your understanding of manage task execution and roles. Read the scenario carefully and evaluate each option against the stated constraints before committing to an answer. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
An administrator has a requirements.yml file specifying roles from multiple sources: a public Galaxy server, a private Git repository, and a local path. They want to install all roles into the roles directory of the current project. Which command will achieve this?
Clue words in this question
Noticing these words before you look at the options changes how you read each choice.
Clue: "which command"
Why it matters: Tests specific CLI syntax. Recall the exact command and its required context — near-synonyms and partial matches are common distractors.
Option B is correct because ansible-galaxy install with -r reads the requirements file and --roles-path specifies the target directory. Option A uses -p . which installs into the current directory, not the roles subdirectory. Option C installs collections, not roles. Option D uses --force which is unnecessary and may overwrite existing roles.
Key principle: NAT direction and interface roles matter as much as the IP address mapping. Inside/outside designation controls which traffic is translated.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
Correct: Installs all roles from requirements.yml into ./roles.
Clue confirmation
The clue word "which command" in the question point toward this answer.
Related concept
Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.
✗
ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml -p .
Why it's wrong here
-p . installs into the current directory, not ./roles.
✗
ansible-galaxy role install --force -r requirements.yml
Why it's wrong here
--force is unnecessary and may overwrite existing roles; also, the command is correct but not recommended.
Common exam traps
Common exam trap: NAT rules depend on direction and matching traffic
NAT is not only about the public address. The inside/outside interface roles and the ACL or rule that matches traffic are just as important.
Trap categories for this question
Command / output trap
This command installs collections, not roles.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
NAT questions usually test address translation, overload/PAT behaviour, static mappings and whether the right traffic is being translated. Read the interface direction and address terms carefully.
KKey Concepts to Remember
Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.
PAT allows many inside hosts to share one public address using ports.
Inside local and inside global describe the private and translated addresses.
NAT ACLs identify traffic for translation, not always security filtering.
TExam Day Tips
→Identify inside and outside interfaces first.
→Check whether the scenario needs static NAT, dynamic NAT or PAT.
→Do not confuse NAT matching ACLs with normal packet-filtering intent.
Key takeaway
NAT direction and interface roles matter as much as the IP address mapping. Inside/outside designation controls which traffic is translated.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A small business has 20 workstations on the 192.168.1.0/24 network and one public IP from its ISP. The router uses PAT (NAT overload) so all 20 devices share one public address using different source ports. NAT questions test whether you understand the four address terms and which direction each translation applies.
What to study next
Got this wrong? Here's your next step.
Review the four NAT address types (inside local, inside global, outside local, outside global), PAT port overload, and static vs dynamic NAT use cases. Then practise related EX294 NAT questions on configuration and troubleshooting.

What is the correct answer to this question?
The correct answer is: ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml --roles-path ./roles — Option B is correct because ansible-galaxy install with -r reads the requirements file and --roles-path specifies the target directory. Option A uses -p . which installs into the current directory, not the roles subdirectory. Option C installs collections, not roles. Option D uses --force which is unnecessary and may overwrite existing roles.

Are there clue words in this question I should notice?
Yes — watch for: "which command". Tests specific CLI syntax. Recall the exact command and its required context — near-synonyms and partial matches are common distractors.
