Implementing and Operating Cisco Data Center Core Technologies (DCCOR) — Question 116

What is an advantage of streaming telemetry over SNMP?

Answer options

• A. on-change traps sent to a receiver
• B. periodic push-based subscription messages
• C. periodic polling of the device status
• D. MD5-based authentication on polling

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as streaming telemetry utilizes a push-based model which allows for real-time data delivery to subscribers. In contrast, options A and C refer to reactive methods like traps and polling that do not provide timely updates, while D discusses authentication, which is not a defining advantage of streaming telemetry.
