350-701 Endpoint Protection and Detection Practice Question
An incident responder notices that an AMP connector on a critical server has stopped sending 'IP to Application' mapping events after a software update. Which step should be taken to restore this telemetry?
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the misconception that restarting a service or reinstalling the connector will restore all functionality, when in fact specific components like Network must be explicitly re-enabled after an update.

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
✓
Enable the 'Network' component in the AMP connector settings and restart the service.
The AMP connector's 'IP to Application' mapping telemetry is provided by the Network component, which is separate from the File and Malware components. After a software update, this component may be disabled by default or reset. Enabling the Network component in the AMP connector settings and restarting the service restores the telemetry stream without requiring a full reinstall or policy reload.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Enable the 'Network' component in the AMP connector settings and restart the service.
Why this is correct
The 'IP to Application' mapping is part of the 'Network' component, which can be disabled during update.
- ✗
Uninstall and reinstall the AMP connector with default settings.
Why it's wrong here
Reinstalling is overkill and may not preserve existing configurations.
- ✗
Update the AMP policy on the connector to force a configuration reload.
Why it's wrong here
Policy updates do not control the 'Network' component enablement.
- ✗
Restart the AMP connector service on the server.
Why it's wrong here
Restarting does not re-enable a disabled component.
