350-401 Network Assurance Practice Question
A network administrator is using Cisco DNA Center Assurance to monitor the health of a wireless network. The administrator wants to identify the root cause of poor wireless client experience. Which two actions can be taken within Cisco DNA Center Assurance to troubleshoot this issue? (Choose two.)
⚠ Common exam trap
It's easy for candidates to confuse general network monitoring dashboards with client-specific troubleshooting tools, overlooking that only Client Health and Intelligent Capture offer the granular wireless client data needed.
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
✓
Use the Client Health dashboard to view detailed metrics for a specific wireless client.
To troubleshoot poor wireless client experience, the administrator should use the Client Health dashboard for detailed per-client metrics and Intelligent Capture for deep packet-level analysis. These tools together provide the necessary visibility into wireless-specific issues such as RF conditions and client onboarding problems.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Use the Path Trace tool to visualize the path between a client and a destination.
Why it's wrong here
The Path Trace tool shows the network path and device-by-device forwarding, which is useful for wired path analysis but does not directly address wireless client experience issues such as RF interference or roaming problems. It is not the primary tool for wireless troubleshooting.
- ✗
Use the Application Health dashboard to monitor application performance.
Why it's wrong here
The Application Health dashboard focuses on application performance and usage, not on wireless client experience. While application issues can affect client experience, the dashboard does not provide the granular wireless-specific metrics needed to diagnose root causes like RF problems or authentication failures.
- ✗
Use the Network Health dashboard to view overall network device health.
Why it's wrong here
The Network Health dashboard provides an aggregate view of device health, but it does not drill down into individual client experience or root cause analysis for wireless issues. It is more suited for monitoring overall network status rather than troubleshooting specific client problems.
- ✓
Use the Client Health dashboard to view detailed metrics for a specific wireless client.
Why this is correct
The Client Health dashboard in Cisco DNA Center Assurance provides detailed metrics such as onboarding time, connectivity, and throughput for individual clients. This allows the administrator to pinpoint issues affecting a specific wireless client, making it a key tool for troubleshooting poor client experience.
- ✓
Use the Intelligent Capture feature to analyze wireless packet captures.
Why this is correct
Intelligent Capture in Cisco DNA Center Assurance enables deep packet analysis for wireless clients, capturing and analyzing over-the-air packets to identify issues like retransmissions, interference, or authentication failures. This provides root-cause insights specific to wireless client experience.
