 The command set in Option C is likely to configure the Cisco MDS switches to use FC-SP for authentication and to ensure communication remains encrypted even when the AAA server is not reachable. This would typically involve configuring the switches to fall back on local authentication databases and enabling features such as DHCHAP (Diffie-Hellman Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) to maintain encrypted communication12.

References := For a detailed configuration guide, you can refer to the Cisco MDS 9000 Series Security Configuration Guide, Release 8.x and 9.x, which provides instructions on configuring security features on external AAA servers and FC-SP and DHCHAP

Cisco IMC software policy is used to install new Cisco IMC software on a server. This policy allows the administrator to specify the desired Cisco IMC software version and the schedule for the installation. The other policies are used to manage different aspects of the server firmware, such as the host firmware, the hypervisor firmware, and the BIOS software. References:

Option A is the correct command set to use the python module in the guest shell of the Cisco Nexus 9000 Series switch to shutdown port Ethernet 1/4. The commands import the cli module, which allows executing CLI commands from Python scripts, and then use the cli function to enter the configuration mode, specify the interface, and issue the shutdown command. References:
