Answer: B, D

Explanation:

Options B and D are the correct components that should be checked when a Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switch fails to boot using POAP (Power On Auto Provisioning). POAP requires a DHCP server to bootstrap IP information for the switch, and a TFTP server that contains the configuration script and the image file for the switch. The other options are either irrelevant or incorrect for POAP.
