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
✓
Cisco DNA Center Assurance uses streaming telemetry from devices to monitor network health in real time.
DNA Center Assurance provides proactive monitoring and troubleshooting using telemetry and AI/ML. The correct answers highlight its use of streaming telemetry, client health scoring, and proactive issue detection. The incorrect options confuse Assurance with automation (configuration changes) or misstate data sources (SNMP polling is secondary to telemetry).
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Cisco DNA Center Assurance uses streaming telemetry from devices to monitor network health in real time.
Why this is correct
Correct because Assurance leverages model-driven telemetry (e.g., from Cisco IOS-XE) to collect real-time data for analysis.
- ✗
Cisco DNA Center Assurance can automatically remediate issues by changing device configurations.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect because Assurance is primarily for monitoring and troubleshooting; automated remediation is a separate automation workflow, not a core Assurance function.
- ✓
Cisco DNA Center Assurance provides a client health score based on RF metrics, application performance, and connectivity.
Why this is correct
Correct because Assurance calculates a 360-degree client health score using factors like signal strength, latency, and packet loss.
- ✗
Cisco DNA Center Assurance relies solely on SNMP polling for data collection.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect because Assurance primarily uses streaming telemetry and NetFlow; SNMP polling is used but not the sole method.
- ✓
Cisco DNA Center Assurance can proactively detect anomalies and send alerts before users are impacted.
Why this is correct
Correct because Assurance uses AI/ML baselines to detect deviations and generate proactive alerts.
