Implementing Cisco Service Provider Advanced Solutions (SPCOR2) — Question 18

Which statement about agentless configuration management system is true?

Answer options

• A. It requires managed hosts to have an interpreter for a high-level language such as Python or Ruby.
• B. It uses existing protocols to interface with the managed host.
• C. It uses compiled languages as the basis on the domain-specific language to interface with managed hosts.
• D. It requires managed hosts to connect to a centralized host to receive updated configurations.
• E. It requires a software package to be installed on the managed host.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because agentless configuration management systems require managed hosts to connect to a centralized server for configuration updates. Options A, C, and E are incorrect because agentless systems do not need interpreters or specific packages installed on the hosts, and they do not rely on compiled languages. Option B is misleading as it may imply that communication can occur without a centralized host, which is not the case for agentless systems.
