Refer to the exhibit. An engineer constructs an EEM applet to prevent anyone from entering configuration mode on a switch. Which snippet is required to complete the EEM applet?

Question

Options

• Async yes skip yes
• Bsync no skip yes
• Csync no skip no
• Dsync yes skip no

• A
  17% (4)
• B
  70% (16)
• C
  4% (1)
• D
  9% (2)

Explanation

EEM Applet: sync and skip Parameters

Option B (sync no skip yes) is correct because to prevent users from entering configuration mode, the EEM applet must use skip yes to block the command from executing, while sync no means the applet runs asynchronously without waiting for user confirmation - this combination effectively intercepts and discards the configure terminal command before it takes effect.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• Option A (sync yes skip yes) is incorrect because sync yes would cause the CLI to wait for the applet to finish, creating unnecessary delays and potential conflicts - it's not needed for a blocking action.
• Option C (sync no skip no) is incorrect because skip no allows the original command to proceed, meaning the user would still successfully enter configuration mode - defeating the entire purpose of the applet.
• Option D (sync yes skip no) is incorrect because it both waits synchronously and allows the command through, making it completely ineffective at blocking access.

Memory Tip: Think of skip as a bouncer - skip yes means "skip letting this person in" (blocks the command), while skip no means "don't skip them" (lets the command through). When you want to block, always pair it with skip yes.
