Explanation

During the Cisco MDS switch initial setup wizard, A is correct because the script prompts you to create additional login accounts beyond the default "admin," giving the engineer control over administrator account creation. C is correct because the setup script explicitly asks you to configure the default zone policy (permit all or deny all) for the fabric.

B is wrong because the secure password standard is optional - the wizard asks "Do you want to enforce secure password standard? (yes/no)" - it is not mandatory. D is wrong because the setup wizard asks about the default switchport interface state (enabled/disabled), not trunk mode configuration, which is done post-setup. E is wrong because it states the opposite of reality - the setup wizard does prompt you to enable or disable full zoneset distribution, so the engineer has that choice.

Memory tip: Think "Admin and Zones are set at birth" - the two things you configure at initial setup that matter most for fabric identity are your Admin accounts (A) and Zone policy (C). Everything else - passwords, trunking details, distribution toggles - either isn't there or isn't mandatory.
