300-445 Question 95
Select 3Your organization is deploying an enterprise network assurance solution to monitor the health and performance of both application servers and network devices. You have been tasked with configuring enterprise agents on these systems. What critical steps should you ensure during the configuration process to guarantee proper functionality and data collection?
- A
Ensure the enterprise agent has the necessary permissions to access system metrics on application servers.
- B
Enable the enterprise agent to use dynamic IP allocation for easier integration into the network.
- C
Configure the enterprise agent to communicate with the network assurance platform using secure protocols like HTTPS or TLS.
- D
Verify that the enterprise agent is running on the same hardware as the main network assurance platform for better performance.
- E
Set up specific data collection intervals and thresholds to align with organizational monitoring policies.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C, E
Explanation
To properly configure an enterprise agent on application servers and network devices, you must ensure it has the appropriate permissions to collect data, uses secure communication protocols to protect the data in transit, and adheres to organizational requirements for data collection intervals and thresholds. These steps ensure a robust and reliable network assurance solution while adhering to security and operational standards.
- A. Correct.
Ensuring the enterprise agent has necessary permissions is critical to allow it to gather system metrics and send them to the assurance platform effectively.
- B. Incorrect.
Dynamic IP allocation for the enterprise agent is not recommended as it can create inconsistencies in communication with the network assurance platform. Static IPs are usually preferred for such agents.
- C. Correct.
Using secure communication protocols like HTTPS or TLS ensures the integrity and confidentiality of the data being transmitted from the enterprise agent to the network assurance platform.
- D. Incorrect.
Running the enterprise agent on the same hardware as the network assurance platform is not a recommended practice. Agents are designed to operate on distributed systems to monitor application servers and network devices across the environment.
- E. Correct.
Configuring data collection intervals and thresholds ensures the agent collects data in alignment with the organization's monitoring and performance analysis objectives.
