PCNSA Question #292: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

Which two configurations does an administrator need to compare in order to see differences between the active configuration and potential changes if committed? (Choose two.)

Options

• ADevice state
• BActive
• CCandidate
• DRunning

Explanation

To preview the differences between the current operational configuration and proposed changes, an administrator compares the candidate configuration with the running configuration.

Common mistakes.

• A. 'Device state' refers to the operational status and health of the device, not a specific configuration file for comparison of changes.
• B. 'Active' configuration is synonymous with 'running configuration' in this context; therefore, 'Candidate' and 'Running' are the two distinct configurations typically compared.

Concept tested. Configuration management (candidate vs running)
