350-401 Practice Question: Examine the following telemetry configuration:…

Examine the following telemetry configuration:

telemetry ietf subscription 500 encoding encode-kvgpb filter xpath /interfaces/interface/state/counters stream yang-push update-policy periodic 500 receiver ip address 10.1.1.1 50000 protocol grpc

A network engineer wants to add a second receiver for redundancy. Which additional configuration is correct?

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

Add a second receiver under the same subscription: receiver ip address 10.1.1.2 50000 protocol grpc

To add a second receiver, you add another receiver line under the same subscription.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • Add a second receiver under the same subscription: receiver ip address 10.1.1.2 50000 protocol grpc

    Why this is correct

    Multiple receivers can be added to a single subscription for redundancy.

  • Create a new subscription with the same parameters and a different receiver.

    Why it's wrong here

    Creating a new subscription duplicates the entire telemetry stream, including a separate filter and update-policy, rather than adding a second receiver to the existing subscription 500; the correct approach uses the `receiver` command under the same subscription to achieve redundancy without duplicating the data path. This option is tempting because adding a second subscription mirrors the familiar pattern of configuring separate monitoring streams for distinct endpoints, which would be correct if each receiver required independent filtering or update intervals, but here the requirement is simply redundant delivery of the identical telemetry.

  • Modify the existing receiver to use multicast address 239.1.1.1.

    Why it's wrong here

    Telemetry receivers use unicast IP addresses, not multicast.

  • Use the backup-receiver command under the receiver.

    Why it's wrong here

    There is no backup-receiver command; simply add another receiver line.
