The provisioning and network configuration channel does NOT:

Question

Options

• ACreate Virtual Systems and Virtual Routers on a Gateway
• BInstall Administrator defined Security Policies
• CInstall a default Security Policy blocking all traffic
• DCreate a SCI Certificate for new objects and transfer the Certificate to an object on the VSX
• EConfigure interface and routing information on the Gateway

• A

• B
  88% (28)
• C
  6% (2)
• E

Explanation

Option B is correct because the provisioning and network configuration channel handles infrastructure setup - not policy management. Administrator-defined Security Policies are pushed through a separate policy installation process via SmartConsole, entirely independent of the provisioning channel. Options A, C, D, and E all describe legitimate provisioning channel functions: it creates Virtual Systems and Virtual Routers (A), installs an initial default deny-all policy to ensure the gateway is secure before admin policies arrive (C), generates and distributes SCI Certificates to authenticate new VSX objects (D), and configures interfaces and routing on the Gateway (E).

Memory tip: Think of the provisioning channel as the "setup crew" - it builds the room (VS/VR), locks the doors by default (deny-all policy), handles ID badges (SCI certs), and wires the network (interfaces/routing). Admin policies are the "interior design" added later by a completely different team (SmartConsole policy push).
