300-445 Question 94
Select 3An enterprise network team is deploying an enterprise agent on their application servers and network infrastructure devices to enable network assurance and performance monitoring. During the configuration process, which of the following steps must be taken to ensure proper functionality of the enterprise agent?
- A
Install the enterprise agent software on application servers and ensure it has network connectivity to the monitoring system.
- B
Configure SNMP on the enterprise agent to allow bi-directional communication with the management system.
- C
Assign sufficient compute and memory resources to the enterprise agent on dedicated devices to handle traffic monitoring workloads.
- D
Verify that the enterprise agent has access to a time synchronization service such as NTP to ensure accurate timestamping of events.
- E
Enable default administrative credentials for the enterprise agent to simplify authentication with the monitoring system.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C, D
Explanation
To configure an enterprise agent on application servers and network infrastructure devices, it is essential to ensure proper installation, allocate sufficient resources, and enable time synchronization for accurate monitoring and reporting. SNMP configuration and default credentials are not directly relevant to configuring enterprise agents for network assurance.
- A. Correct.
This step ensures the enterprise agent is properly installed and can communicate with the monitoring system for data collection and analysis.
- B. Incorrect.
While SNMP might be configured on network devices, it is not typically a direct requirement for enterprise agent functionality. The agent itself interacts with the monitoring system in other ways, such as API calls or telemetry protocols.
- C. Correct.
Assigning sufficient compute and memory resources ensures the enterprise agent can handle the workload without affecting its performance or missing critical data.
- D. Correct.
Time synchronization is critical for accurate event logging and correlation in network assurance systems.
- E. Incorrect.
Using default administrative credentials poses a significant security risk and is not recommended in enterprise environments.
