Implementing and Operating Cisco Data Center Core Technologies (DCCOR) — Question 419

An engineer must configure a monitoring solution for a Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switch based data center. The solution must provide real-time insight into the network health with subscription-based monitoring. The monitoring must be initiated from the client side, and the data must be sent via encryption. Which configuration steps complete the configuration?

Answer options

• A. Configure Grafana on the Nexus switch. Specify the logging certificate. Enable syslog level 7 export to Grafana.
• B. Set the telemetry feature on the Nexus switch. Specify a certificate for telemetry transport. Configure a sensor group and destination.
• C. Activate SNMPv3 on the Nexus switch. Set the globalEnforcePriv parameter. Configure an SNMP agent to poll information.
• D. Enable GRPC on the Nexus switch. Generate a certificate. Configure gNMI inputs in Telegraf and output to InfluxDB.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer, B, is appropriate because it involves enabling telemetry, which is essential for real-time monitoring and supports encrypted data transport. Options A, C, and D do not meet all the requirements; A focuses on Grafana without ensuring encryption, C uses SNMPv3 which is not subscription-based, and D pertains to gRPC which is not specified as a requirement in the question.
