Exam 350-401 topic 1 question 275 discussion

I've been a CCNP for 11 years, and doing Cisco networking for almost 25. Today, right now, is the first time I have ever heard of this capability.

questions like this are why I visit sites like this. It doesn't matter how much you study, this question would have screwed me over everytime, I've never heard of it

D is correct The "autocommand" keyword in Cisco IOS allows you to specify a command or a series of commands to be executed automatically when a user logs in. For example, if you configure "autocommand show run" for a specific user, let's say "CCNP," whenever the user "CCNP" logs in, the command "show run" will be executed automatically, displaying the current running configuration of the device.

Clearly D is the answer, but there is a problem with how the answer is worded. It says to ADD the sutocommand to the username command. But you can't add anything to the command once you specify the password, otherwise what you intended to be an option becomes the password So you have to have a separate line for username CCNP autocommand since here too autocommand has to be the last option.

Cisco exams are for testing real skills anymore. That is too sad

Cisco IOS long had the autocommand option by which you could attach any command to a username and have it execute after successful login. For example, username x autocommand show ip interface brief command would configure the router to display the interface status after someone would log in as user x. After the autocommand is executed, the user is logged out and the session is disconnected, unless you configure the username user nohangup option, which causes the session to remain active, giving the operator another login prompt.

The command we want to apply can be any length, so the autocommand keyword must be the last option of the line - username CCNP autocommand sh run

The only real use for the autocommand feature today is to issue "term mon" on login and disable the hangup option.

Lol at this question and the responses. Answer is correct though.

autocommand (Optional) Causes the specified command to be issued automatically after the user logs in. When the command is complete, the session is terminated. Because the command can be any length and contain imbedded spaces, commands using the autocommand keyword must be the last option on the line.

username name [autocommand command]

Correct. Reference: https://www.cisco.com/E-Learning/bulk/public/tac/cim/cib/using_cisco_ios_software/cmdrefs/username.htm
