Why each option
To configure device aliases on a Cisco MDS 9000 Series Switch and be prompted for confirmation while displaying pending changes, the device-alias confirm-commit command is used.
device-alias enhanced is a mode that enables enhanced device-alias functionality but does not specifically handle the commit process with confirmation or diff display.
device-alias commit directly commits the pending changes without prompting for confirmation or displaying the differences, which does not meet the specified requirements.
The device-alias confirm-commit command in Cisco MDS 9000 Series Switches allows an engineer to review pending device-alias configuration changes and explicitly confirm them before they are committed to the database. This command also displays the differences (diffs) of the pending changes, fulfilling both requirements of displaying pending changes and prompting for confirmation.
device-alias distribute diffs-only is used to distribute only the differences of the device-alias database, but it does not perform a commit operation, prompt for confirmation, or display pending changes on the console for a local commit.
