You are creating a custom MAPS policy using a default policy as a template with different thresholds for the rules. Which three actions are required to accomplish this? (Choose three.)

The correct answer is A. Create a clone of the default policy you want to modify. B. Create clones of the default rules you want to modify. E. Remove the default rules from the new policy. See the full explanation below for the reasoning.

The correct answers are A, B, and E. MAPS default policies and their constituent rules are read-only, so you clone the policy (A), clone the specific rules you want to change (B), then swap the original default rules out of the cloned policy and substitute your modified rule clones in their place (E), because C is wrong on its face, you never touch a default rule directly, you work entirely on the cloned copies, and D is not required since enabling the new policy atomically replaces the active one without a prior disable step.

A lot of people lock in A and B right away but then pick C instead of E, which makes sense on the surface until you remember that you cannot modify the default rules themselves, so the whole point of cloning them is to build replacements that you then swap into the policy. Does your study material spell out what happens to the original default rules in the cloned policy, because I keep seeing people unsure whether you remove them or just add the new ones alongside?

I picked C instead of E at first because "modify the default rules in the cloned policy" sounds like exactly what you are doing, but that is the trap, you cannot touch default rules at all, even inside a cloned policy, so you have to clone the rules separately, swap the defaults out with E, and wire in your modified clones, otherwise the whole point of cloning the rules with B is meaningless.

D is absolutely one of the three, because on the switch you cannot have two active policies running simultaneously and the system will throw an error if you try to enable the new policy without first taking down the old one. I learned this the hard way in lab when I kept getting rejected activations until I ran the disable step first, so do not skip it thinking the enable command will handle it automatically.

Lena, that lab experience sounds real but it actually lines up with a different scenario, because the correct set here is A, B, and E, and D does not make the cut since the question is asking about the steps where the system validates the new config automatically rather than requiring a manual disable of the prior policy first.
