300-445 Question 13
Select 3An enterprise network team is designing a network assurance solution for a global organization with multiple branch locations. They need to monitor network performance, simulate user traffic to detect application issues, and collect local data from devices for troubleshooting. Which combination of agent types should they implement to meet these requirements?
- A
Synthetic user agents for simulating user traffic
- B
Local collection agents for gathering device-specific data
- C
Scripting agents for executing predefined scripts on network devices
- D
Cloud-based agents for centralized control of network assurance
- E
Telemetry-only agents for passive monitoring of network traffic
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, C
Explanation
To meet the requirements of monitoring network performance, simulating user traffic, and collecting local device data, a combination of synthetic user agents, local collection agents, and scripting agents is ideal. Synthetic user agents help simulate end-user experiences, local collection agents gather critical data from devices, and scripting agents automate and test network configurations. Together, these agents provide comprehensive network assurance and troubleshooting capabilities.
- A. Correct.
Synthetic user agents are ideal for simulating user traffic and proactively identifying application performance issues, making them essential for this scenario.
- B. Correct.
Local collection agents are crucial for gathering device-specific data directly from network devices, enabling troubleshooting and network assurance.
- C. Correct.
Scripting agents allow execution of predefined scripts on network devices, which is useful for automating tasks and testing network configurations.
- D. Incorrect.
Cloud-based agents are not specified as a requirement in this scenario, as the focus is on local data collection and user simulation rather than centralized control.
- E. Incorrect.
Telemetry-only agents are passive and do not actively simulate traffic or gather device-specific data, which are key requirements in this scenario.
