300-445 Question 111
Select 3An organization is experiencing intermittent connectivity issues between their branch office and a cloud-hosted application. As a network administrator, you are tasked with identifying the root cause. Using ThousandEyes and Meraki Insights, which configuration steps would you use to set up a test to monitor this issue?
- A
Create a ThousandEyes HTTP Server test targeting the application's URL to monitor response times and availability.
- B
Use Meraki Insights to enable WAN Health and monitor latency and jitter between the branch office and the cloud application.
- C
Set up a ThousandEyes Path Visualization test to identify routing issues between the branch office and the cloud application.
- D
Configure Meraki Insights to perform synthetic transactions to the cloud-hosted application.
- E
Enable ThousandEyes integration with Meraki Dashboard to directly view WAN performance metrics.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, C
Explanation
To diagnose intermittent connectivity issues between a branch office and a cloud-hosted application, you should use a combination of tests and tools. ThousandEyes provides HTTP Server tests to monitor application availability and Path Visualization tests to identify routing issues. Meraki Insights' WAN Health feature helps monitor WAN performance metrics like latency and jitter. These combined tools provide comprehensive visibility into the problem.
- A. Correct.
Correct: A ThousandEyes HTTP Server test monitors the performance and availability of an HTTP-based resource, such as a cloud-hosted application.
- B. Correct.
Correct: Meraki Insights’ WAN Health feature provides visibility into latency, jitter, and other performance metrics for WAN connections, which can help identify connectivity issues.
- C. Correct.
Correct: A ThousandEyes Path Visualization test helps identify routing issues, packet loss, or network hops causing degradation between the source and destination.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Meraki Insights does not perform synthetic transactions. It focuses on analyzing historical and real-time application performance metrics.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect: While ThousandEyes can integrate with the Meraki Dashboard, this integration does not directly provide access to WAN performance metrics but rather enhances visibility into network paths.
