A systems administrator must extract log files from an MX7000. The logs cannot be saved locally and must only be stored on a secure file server. Which share protocols can they use to save the logs?

Question

Options

• ANFS and HTTPS
• BCIFS and NFS
• CHTTPS and SFTP
• DHTTPS and SCP
• ESFTP and CIFS

• B
  87% (41)
• C
  6% (3)
• D
  2% (1)
• E
  4% (2)

Explanation

CIFS and NFS are the two network share protocols supported by the Dell EMC MX7000's management interface (OME-M) for exporting logs to a remote file server. Both are traditional enterprise file-sharing protocols designed for mounting remote storage - exactly what's needed when logs cannot be saved locally.

The distractors fail because HTTPS, SFTP, and SCP are transfer protocols, not share protocols. While they can move files, the MX7000's log export feature specifically supports CIFS (Windows/Samba shares) and NFS (Unix/Linux shares) as its remote destination types - not web or SSH-based transfer methods. Options A, C, D, and E each mix in at least one transfer protocol (HTTPS, SFTP, or SCP) that the MX7000 does not support in this context.

Memory tip: Think "CN Rail" - CIFS and NFS are the two rails (share protocols) that carry logs to a remote server on the MX7000. If an answer includes HTTPS, SFTP, or SCP, it's off the rails.
