300-445 Question 93
Select 3An organization plans to deploy an enterprise agent to monitor network performance across its infrastructure. The IT team needs to configure the agent on both application servers and network infrastructure devices. Which of the following configurations should be performed to ensure the enterprise agent operates effectively?
- A
Ensure the enterprise agent has appropriate permissions to access SNMP data on network devices.
- B
Allow the enterprise agent to establish secure connections to a centralized telemetry platform.
- C
Restrict the enterprise agent to only monitor traffic originating from a single VLAN.
- D
Configure the enterprise agent with server authentication credentials for application-level monitoring.
- E
Enable port mirroring on the switches to capture traffic for the enterprise agent.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, D
Explanation
To ensure the enterprise agent can monitor both application servers and network infrastructure devices effectively, it needs access to SNMP data for network devices and authentication credentials for application servers. Additionally, secure communication with a centralized telemetry platform ensures the collected data can be analyzed for network assurance. Limiting the agent's scope to a single VLAN or relying on port mirroring would restrict its monitoring capabilities or introduce unnecessary complexity.
- A. Correct.
Correct. SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is commonly used for monitoring and managing network devices. The enterprise agent needs permissions to access this data to effectively monitor network infrastructure.
- B. Correct.
Correct. For centralized data collection and analysis, the enterprise agent must establish secure connections to the telemetry platform or monitoring system.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Restricting the agent to a single VLAN would limit its ability to monitor the entire network, reducing its effectiveness.
- D. Correct.
Correct. For application-level monitoring, the enterprise agent requires authentication credentials to access and monitor application servers.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Port mirroring is not a required step for configuring an enterprise agent, as enterprise agents typically rely on metrics and logs rather than raw traffic captures.
