An engineer must implement an automation solution to allow the backup of the configuration of Cisco Nexus Series Switches to a centralized location. The solution must:

Suggested Answer: A 🗳️
In addition to the NX-OS CLI and Bash access on the underlying Linux environment, switches support access to a decoupled execution space running within a
Linux Container (LXC) called the ג€Guest Shellג€.
From within the Guest Shell the network-admin has the following capabilities:
ג€¢ Access to the network over Linux network interfaces.
ג€¢ Access to the switch's bootflash.
ג€¢ Access to the switch's volatile tmpfs.
ג€¢ Access to the switch's CLI.
ג€¢ Access to Cisco NX-API REST.
ג€¢ The ability to install and run python scripts.
ג€¢ The ability to install and run 32-bit and 64-bit Linux applications.
Decoupling the execution space from the native host system allows customization of the Linux environment to suit the needs of the applications without impacting the host system or applications running in other Linux Containers.
