300-435 Question 171
Single answerA network engineer is tasked with configuring Cisco DNA Center to generate notifications when a specific device interface experiences high utilization. The engineer wants to ensure that the notification is sent only when the interface utilization exceeds 80% for more than 5 minutes. Which action should the engineer take to achieve this?
- A
Create an event policy in Cisco DNA Center, set the threshold to 80%, and specify a time duration of 5 minutes.
- B
Enable SNMP traps on the device and configure a custom threshold for interface utilization.
- C
Configure a syslog alert on the device and set it to report events exceeding 80% utilization.
- D
Use Cisco DNA Center's Assurance feature to monitor interface utilization and set a notification trigger.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct approach for configuring event-based notifications in Cisco DNA Center is to create an event policy. This allows the engineer to define a specific threshold (80%) and a duration (5 minutes) for the interface utilization, ensuring that notifications are generated only under the specified conditions. Other options involve device-level configurations or different features of Cisco DNA Center that do not meet the requirements of the scenario.
- A. Correct.
Correct. Cisco DNA Center allows users to create event policies where thresholds and time durations can be defined for notifications. This is the most appropriate action for the given scenario.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect. While enabling SNMP traps can help monitor thresholds, it is not directly related to Cisco DNA Center's event and notification functionalities.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Syslog alerts are configured locally on the device and do not leverage Cisco DNA Center's centralized event and notification capabilities.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect. While Cisco DNA Center's Assurance feature provides insights into interface utilization, it does not allow direct configuration of notification thresholds for specific events.
