When a Cisco Nexus 9000 series switch encounters a startup configuration corruption, the recovery process involves clearing the current configuration, restarting the device, and then restoring the configuration from a previously saved file. The correct sequence is to first clear the configuration to prevent the corrupted startup configuration from loading upon restart. After restarting the device, the previously saved configuration file should be copied to the running configuration. Finally, to ensure the switch starts with the correct configuration in future restarts, the running configuration should be saved to the startup configuration.

When configuring a vHBA template in UCS Manager, you need to specify the WWPN (World Wide Port Name) from a WWPN pool (B) to uniquely identify the port in the fabric, and the Fabric ID (E) to define the path through which the SAN traffic will flow.

The correct configuration to capture traffic only from the server with the IP address of 198.19.1.19/24 is option C. This configuration uses an IP access list to match packets from the specific IP address with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.255, which indicates a single host. The monitor session command is then used to apply this access list to a SPAN session, ensuring that only traffic from the specified server is captured.

To prevent unauthorized changes at the root level and to restrict access up to the organization level, the appropriate action is to assign users to a specific Cisco UCS locale. A locale is a logical grouping that defines the scope of user permissions in Cisco UCS Manager. By assigning users to a locale, their access can be limited to specific organizations or service profiles, preventing them from modifying policies at the root level.
