300-445 Question 91
Select 3You are tasked with configuring an enterprise agent on a network infrastructure device to monitor network performance and application health. During the setup, you must ensure the agent has proper access to resources and is securely integrated into the environment. Which steps are required to correctly configure the enterprise agent?
- A
Install the enterprise agent on the network device and configure credentials with least privilege access.
- B
Enable SNMP on the network device to allow data collection by the enterprise agent.
- C
Manually assign a static IP to the enterprise agent to ensure consistent connectivity.
- D
Configure SSL/TLS encryption for communication between the enterprise agent and the monitoring platform.
- E
Disable all unused ports on the device to enhance security after installing the enterprise agent.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, D
Explanation
To correctly configure an enterprise agent, it is important to install the agent with appropriate credentials, ensure data collection protocols like SNMP are enabled, and secure communication using protocols like SSL/TLS. These steps ensure the agent can operate effectively while maintaining security. While actions like assigning static IPs or disabling unused ports may enhance security or simplify administration, they are not mandatory for enterprise agent configuration.
- A. Correct.
Correct: Installing the enterprise agent and ensuring it uses credentials with least privilege access is a necessary security best practice to avoid over-privileged access to the device.
- B. Correct.
Correct: Enabling SNMP is essential as it allows the enterprise agent to collect data related to network performance and device health.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect: While a static IP might be beneficial in some cases, it is not a mandatory requirement for configuring an enterprise agent, as DHCP assignments can also work, depending on the network setup.
- D. Correct.
Correct: Configuring SSL/TLS encryption ensures secure communication between the enterprise agent and the monitoring platform, protecting sensitive data in transit.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Disabling unused ports is a general security best practice, but it is not directly related to configuring the enterprise agent on the device.
