An engineer is implementing a Cisco Nexus switch. Which command executes an Ansible playbook called n9k.yml?

Question

Options

• Aansible-playbook n9k.yml
• Bansible-playbook -f n9k.yml -run now
• Cansible-playbook -f n9k.yml
• Dansible-playbook -f N9K.yml

• A

• B
  4% (2)
• C
  6% (3)
• D
  2% (1)

Explanation

ansible-playbook n9k.yml is the correct syntax for executing an Ansible playbook - the command takes the playbook filename directly as a positional argument, with no additional flags required.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B uses -f, which in Ansible controls the number of parallel forks (e.g., -f 10), not file selection - and -run now is not a valid flag at all.
• C combines the real -f flag with a filename, but -f expects an integer (fork count), not a filename, so this would throw an error.
• D has the same structural problem as C, plus uses uppercase N9K.yml - Linux filesystems are case-sensitive, so this would fail to find the file even if the syntax were valid.

Memory tip: Think of ansible-playbook like running a Python script - you just pass the filename directly: python script.py → ansible-playbook playbook.yml. No flags needed to specify the file.
