This EX294 practice question tests your understanding of implement advanced ansible automation. 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.
Which THREE of the following are valid attributes of the ansible.builtin.service module?
state
Correct: state controls whether the service is started/stopped.
enabled
Correct: enabled controls whether the service starts on boot.
pattern
Why wrong: Incorrect: pattern is not a parameter of service module.
name
Correct: name specifies the service name.
runlevel
Why wrong: Incorrect: runlevel is used by other modules, not service.
Answer choices
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
state
Options A, B, and C are correct. state, enabled, and name are valid parameters. runlevel and pattern are not standard parameters of the service module.
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
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
state
Why this is correct
Correct: state controls whether the service is started/stopped.
Related concept
Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.
enabled
Why this is correct
Correct: enabled controls whether the service starts on boot.
Related concept
Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.
pattern
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect: pattern is not a parameter of service module.
name
Why this is correct
Correct: name specifies the service name.
Related concept
Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.
runlevel
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect: runlevel is used by other modules, not service.
Common exam traps
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.
Detailed technical explanation
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.
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
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
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.
