Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Inspect the Access Control policy rule hit counts.
Why it's wrong here
Hit counts measure policy evaluation metrics, not device-to-manager connectivity.
- ✗
Run a packet capture on the FMC management interface filtering for UDP port 514.
Why it's wrong here
UDP port 514 is typically used for Syslog, whereas FMC uses TCP port 8305 (sftunnel) for secure agent communication.
- ✓
Review the connection status in the FMC GUI under Devices > Device Management.
Why this is correct
The Device Management screen displays real-time connection health indicators and icons for all managed devices.
- ✗
Check the health monitor alerts specifically for 'SNMP Agent' status.
Why it's wrong here
SNMP is optional for monitoring and not required for FMC-to-FTD control channel verification.
- ✓
Execute the 'show sftunnel status' or 'sftm status' command on the FTD CLI.
Why this is correct
The 'sftm status' and sftunnel verification commands on the FTD CLI confirm secure communication channels and registration health with the FMC.
