350-701 Endpoint Protection and Detection Practice Question
Exhibit
Refer to the exhibit. ``` show amp status Connector Status: Connected Last Connection: 2024-01-15 10:32:45 UTC Policy Version: 2.3.4 Private Cloud: Disabled Network Component: Enabled Isolated: Yes ```
Based on the exhibit, what does the 'Isolated: Yes' status indicate?
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the misconception that 'Isolated: Yes' means the connector is completely disabled or blocked by a firewall, when in fact it is a deliberate quarantine mode triggered by loss of cloud connectivity, not a permanent failure.
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
✓
The connector is in a quarantine mode due to a loss of cloud connectivity.
In Cisco AMP (Advanced Malware Protection) for Endpoints, the 'Isolated: Yes' status indicates that the connector has entered quarantine mode because it has lost connectivity to the AMP cloud. This is a security feature that prevents the endpoint from communicating with other hosts on the network while still allowing outbound traffic to the cloud for reconnection attempts. The connector remains functional but isolated to contain potential threats until cloud connectivity is restored.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The connector is disconnected from the cloud and requires a reboot.
Why it's wrong here
The connector still shows 'Connected'; isolation is a temporary state.
- ✓
The connector is in a quarantine mode due to a loss of cloud connectivity.
Why this is correct
'Isolated' indicates the connector cannot reach the cloud but continues to protect with local rules.
- ✗
The connector is permanently blocked by a firewall and needs manual reconfiguration.
Why it's wrong here
Isolation may be temporary and can auto-resolve; permanent blockage would result in 'Disconnected'.
- ✗
The network component is disabled, preventing network traffic monitoring.
Why it's wrong here
The exhibit shows 'Network Component: Enabled', so this is not the cause.
