Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C
Explanation
Cisco technologies like ThousandEyes, Catalyst SD-WAN Manager, Catalyst Center, and Webex Control Hub can integrate to provide comprehensive network assurance. ThousandEyes enhances visibility into application performance, especially over SD-WAN links, when integrated with Catalyst SD-WAN Manager. Additionally, integrating ThousandEyes with Webex Control Hub ensures optimal performance monitoring for collaboration tools like Webex. These integrations allow administrators to proactively identify and resolve network issues, ensuring seamless end-to-end operations.
- A. Correct.
Correct: Integrating ThousandEyes with Catalyst SD-WAN Manager provides visibility into application performance over SD-WAN links, enabling proactive troubleshooting for WAN-related issues.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Cisco Catalyst Center does not directly configure ThousandEyes monitoring agents; ThousandEyes agents are deployed separately and integrated for monitoring purposes.
- C. Correct.
Correct: ThousandEyes integration with Webex Control Hub allows performance monitoring specifically for Webex applications, ensuring collaboration tools function optimally.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Catalyst SD-WAN Manager does not provide direct integration with Catalyst Center for LAN and WAN policy automation. They operate independently for their respective domains.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Catalyst SD-WAN Manager does not deploy Meraki Endpoint Agents; these are managed separately through the Meraki dashboard or ThousandEyes platform.
