Refer to the exhibit. Can the next step be to configure the encrypt action in a content filter?

Question

Exhibit

Options

• AYes. CRES has been added. The next step is to configure the outgoing mail policy.
• BYes. CRES has been added. The next step is to create the content filter.
• CNo. First you need to commit your changes, and click Provision.
• DNo. First you need to click the provision button.

• A
  6% (1)
• C
  89% (16)
• D
  6% (1)

Explanation

Option C is correct because on Cisco's Email Security Appliance (ESA), simply adding CRES (Cisco Registered Envelope Service) is not sufficient - you must first commit your changes and then click Provision to fully activate the encryption service before it can be used in a content filter action.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A & B are wrong for the same reason: jumping ahead to configure outgoing mail policies or content filters before provisioning will fail because CRES isn't actually active yet - it's just been added but not finalized.
• D is a partial answer that's still wrong: clicking Provision alone isn't enough; an uncommitted configuration means the changes haven't been saved to the system, so provisioning would have nothing to work with.

Memory tip: Think of it as a two-key rule - Commit locks in the config, Provision activates the service. Both keys must be turned before encryption is usable. If you ever see a question where something was "added but not yet committed," the answer almost always involves committing first.
