A network engineering team is evaluating configuration management tools to automate Cisco IOS XE switch deployments. The architecture mandates that managed network devices must not require a persistent local management daemon or software agent, and all configuration task execution must be driven from a central control node using native management protocols and human-readable YAML files.
Which of the following operational characteristics correctly describe the selected configuration management tool? (Select TWO.)
- The framework utilizes a push-based communication model where the control node initiates management sessions directly to target network devices.Cevap
- Configuration tasks are defined in playbooks and executed across endpoints over standard SSH or NETCONF transport protocols.Cevap
- CManaged endpoints periodically initiate outbound connections over TCP port 8140 to pull target state definitions from a centralized master server.
- DSystem states are structured using Ruby-based cookbooks and recipes that must be compiled locally by a client daemon running on each switch.
Cevap
The configuration management mechanism described is Ansible, which uses a push-based communication model from a control node over standard transport protocols (SSH/NETCONF) with YAML playbooks and requires no agent software on target endpoints.
The scenario describes Ansible, which is unique among the three major configuration management tools for being completely agentless on target network devices. Ansible relies on a push-based model where the control node opens standard transport sessions (such as SSH or NETCONF) to execute tasks defined in YAML playbooks.
