MDS USB POAP stands for MDS USB Power-On Auto Provisioning. It is a feature of Cisco MDS switches that allows the switch to automatically download and install the software image and configuration files from a USB drive during the switch's initial power-up.

To successfully perform MDS USB POAP, the following components are required:

  1. USB drive: The USB drive must be NTFS formatted and inserted into port 1 of the MDS switch.

  2. System and Kickstart images: The USB drive must contain the system and kickstart images that the switch will download and install during the POAP process. These images should be compatible with the switch hardware and version.

  3. POAP script: A script named poap_script.pl must be present on the USB drive. This script contains the configuration information that the switch will use during the POAP process. The script should be compatible with the switch hardware and version.

  4. Enterprise license: The switch must have an Enterprise license installed to perform the POAP process successfully.

Therefore, the correct answers are A. NTFS formatted USB drive and E. system and kickstart images. Options B, C, and D are not required for the MDS USB POAP process.
