A. B. C. D.CD
The configure exclusive command is used to restrict access to the configuration database to a single user. While in exclusive configuration mode, only one user can edit the configuration database. Other users attempting to enter configuration mode will be blocked.
The correct statements about the configure exclusive command are:
A. It allows users to retain all uncommitted changes when exiting exclusive configuration mode. This statement is true. When a user exits exclusive configuration mode, any changes they made to the configuration will be committed if they were successfully validated. If the changes were not successfully validated, they will be discarded. However, any uncommitted changes made by other users will be lost.
C. It causes the loss of all uncommitted changes when exiting exclusive configuration mode. This statement is also true. When a user exits exclusive configuration mode, any uncommitted changes made by other users will be lost. This is because exclusive configuration mode restricts access to the configuration database to a single user.
Therefore, the correct statements about the configure exclusive command are A and C.
B and D are incorrect: B. It allows multiple users to edit private copies of the configuration concurrently. This statement is not true. Exclusive configuration mode restricts access to the configuration database to a single user, so multiple users cannot edit private copies of the configuration concurrently.
D. It excludes other users from editing the configuration. This statement is partially true. Exclusive configuration mode restricts access to the configuration database to a single user, so other users will be excluded from editing the configuration. However, they can still view the configuration and any changes that have been made.
