QuestionQ524

Automation

An engineer needs to perform a software upgrade on a production Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Switch. Before the upgrade begins, all ports must be shut down and routing protocols must terminate gracefully. Which feature must be used to satisfy these requirements?

  • A Switch Profile
  • B Service Profile Template
  • C Maintenance Mode Profile
  • D Configuration Profile
Explanation

A Maintenance Mode Profile is used by Cisco NX-OS Graceful Insertion and Removal during graceful removal to apply maintenance actions. Entering maintenance mode gracefully brings down routing protocols and shuts down physical ports, isolating the switch for upgrade activity.
