An engineer is implementing a Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switch. To automate the configuration, which command enables Bash on a Cisco NX-OS?

Question

Options

• Arun bash-shell
• Benable bash
• Crun bash
• Dfeature bash-shell

• A
  9% (2)
• B
  4% (1)
• D
  87% (20)

Explanation

feature bash-shell is correct because Cisco NX-OS uses the feature command to enable optional software capabilities on the platform, and bash-shell is the specific feature identifier for Bash access on Nexus switches - without running this command first, the Bash environment is simply unavailable.

Why the distractors fail:

• A (run bash-shell) - incorrect syntax; run bash-shell is not a valid NX-OS command.
• B (enable bash) - enable in Cisco CLI is an IOS/IOS-XE privilege-mode command, not an NX-OS feature toggle.
• C (run bash) - this is actually the command you use after enabling the feature to enter the Bash shell; it's the next step, not the enabling step.

Memory tip: Think of it in two stages - "feature to unlock, run to enter." On NX-OS, feature bash-shell unlocks the door; run bash walks through it. The exam question asks about unlocking, so the answer starts with feature.
