Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Disable syslog logging for interface state changes.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect because this would affect other monitoring; the issue is redundant EEM applets.
- ✓
Remove one of the duplicate EEM applets.
Why this is correct
Correct because removing one applet eliminates the duplicate trap generation.
- ✗
Change the SNMP trap destination to a different host for one applet.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect because this would still send two traps to different hosts, not resolve the duplication.
- ✗
Increase the SNMP trap queue size.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect because this does not address the root cause of duplicate traps.
