While running the system setup wizard, what are the default settings for Senderbase Network Participation and Auto Support?

Question

Options

• ASBNP: onAuto Support: on
• BSBNP: onAuto Support: off
• CSBNP: offAuto Support: off
• DSBNP: offAuto Support: on

• A
  88% (52)
• B
  2% (1)
• C
  3% (2)
• D
  7% (4)

Explanation

Option A is correct because the Cisco Email Security Appliance (ESA) system setup wizard enables both SenderBase Network Participation and Auto Support by default - both features are opt-out, not opt-in, reflecting Cisco's stance that these services provide immediate value. Options B, C, and D are wrong because they each assume one or both features default to off, which contradicts the wizard's behavior; no default combination has Auto Support on while SBNP is off (D), nor are either or both features disabled by default (B, C). A helpful memory tip: think "both on by default" - Cisco wants the appliance contributing threat intelligence (SBNP) and sending diagnostics (Auto Support) from the moment it's set up, so both switches start in the ON position unless the administrator actively disables them.
