CCNP Network Assurance Practice Question
A network engineer is using Cisco DNA Center Assurance to troubleshoot a wireless client that frequently disconnects. The engineer wants to identify the root cause by examining relevant assurance data. Which two types of information are available in the Client 360 view to help diagnose the issue? (Choose two.)
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is assuming that Client 360 includes device-level metrics like controller CPU or switch interface counters, when it actually provides client-centric data such as onboarding events and RF statistics.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
RF statistics for the client
Client 360 in Cisco DNA Center Assurance provides a comprehensive view of a specific client's connectivity, including onboarding history and RF statistics. Onboarding history reveals the steps and failures during connection attempts, while RF statistics show signal quality and interference. Together, they enable the engineer to diagnose why the client disconnects, such as authentication failures or poor coverage.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Wireless controller CPU utilization
Why it's wrong here
While wireless controller CPU utilization can impact client connectivity, Client 360 focuses on the client's experience and does not directly display controller CPU metrics. Such device-level performance data is found in Device 360 or the Network Health dashboard. Client 360 provides client-centric data like connectivity, onboarding, and RF information.
- ✓
RF statistics for the client
Why this is correct
RF statistics for the client, such as RSSI, SNR, and channel utilization, are available in Client 360. These metrics help determine if the disconnections are due to poor signal quality, interference, or coverage gaps. By analyzing RF trends over time, the engineer can correlate disconnects with RF conditions.
- ✗
Application response time
Why it's wrong here
Application response time is a metric available in Application Health or Flow Analytics, not in Client 360. While application performance can affect user experience, the client disconnections are more likely due to wireless connectivity issues. Client 360 focuses on the client's network connectivity and RF environment, not application-level performance.
- ✓
Client onboarding history
Why this is correct
Client onboarding history in Client 360 shows the sequence of events during the client's connection process, including association, authentication, and DHCP. It includes timestamps and success/failure status for each step, which is crucial for identifying where the disconnections occur. This data helps pinpoint if the issue is related to authentication, IP assignment, or wireless association.
- ✗
Switch interface error counters
Why it's wrong here
Switch interface error counters are not part of Client 360; they are found in Device 360 for the specific switch. While they can indicate wired network issues, the client's disconnections are likely wireless-related. Client 360 provides wireless-specific data, not wired interface statistics.
