CCNP Practice Question: Which two statements about telemetry subscription…
Which two statements about telemetry subscription modes are true? (Choose two.)
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
✓
In dial-out mode, the network device initiates a connection to the telemetry collector.
Dial-out mode pushes data from the network device to a collector, while dial-in mode requires the collector to initiate the connection. gRPC supports both modes. NETCONF can also support both but is not limited to dial-in. SNMP is a polling-based protocol, not a telemetry subscription mode.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
In dial-out mode, the network device initiates a connection to the telemetry collector.
Why this is correct
Correct because dial-out telemetry pushes data from the device to the collector.
- ✓
In dial-in mode, the collector subscribes to data by connecting to the network device.
Why this is correct
Correct because dial-in telemetry requires the collector to establish a session to the device.
- ✗
gRPC supports only dial-out telemetry subscriptions.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect because gRPC supports both dial-out and dial-in telemetry.
- ✗
NETCONF is exclusively used for dial-in telemetry subscriptions.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect because NETCONF can support both dial-in and dial-out depending on implementation.
- ✗
SNMP traps are a form of dial-out telemetry.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect because SNMP traps are event notifications, not structured telemetry subscriptions.
