QUESTION 9
A network engineer must perform a backup and restore of the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Switch
configuration. The backup must be made to an external backup server. The only protocol permitted
between the Cisco Nexus switch and the backup server is UDP. The backup must be used when the
current working configuration of the switch gets corrupted. Which set of steps must be taken to meet
these requirements?
A. 1 Perform a startup-config backup to an FTP server.
2 Copy startup-config in the boot flash to the running-config file
B. 1 Perform a running-config backup to an SFTP server
2 Copy backup-config from the SFTP server to the running-config file
C. 1 Perform a running-config backup to an SCP server
2 Copy running-config in the boot flash to the running-config file
D. 1 Perform a startup-config backup to a TFTP server
2 Copy backup-config from the backup server to the running-config file
Answer: D
Explanation:
TFTP is the only protocol that uses UDP. FTP, SFTP, and SCP use TCP.
