An IOS XE edge router is configured with a telemetry subscription that names a collector receiver. Which statement describes that configured (dial-out) consumption topology?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Dial-out is the router dialing the news desk you configured—it opens toward the collector and retries if the line drops. That is device-initiated, not the desk polling forever.
Full Explanation
Configured dial-out telemetry means the IOS XE device initiates the session toward a configured receiver and can retry if the session drops. Naming a collector receiver in the subscription embeds that topology: the civic edge router pushes to the receiver without requiring a permanent interactive pull session from the collector.
Claiming the collector must permanently SSH into the device CLI to pull show commands each interval describes classic CLI scraping, not dial-out MDT. Saying dial-out means SNMP GET from the NMS is the only supported transport confuses SNMP polling with telemetry dial-out. Asserting the subscription exists only while an operator’s interactive NETCONF terminal stays open, with no device configuration, describes a transient session model—not a configured dial-out receiver.
Exam caveat: dial-in (dynamic) subscriptions are collector-initiated and session-scoped; do not mix the two when the stem says the router is configured with a receiver. Connectivity and certificate/trust for the receiver still matter.
Operational check: remove the collector briefly and confirm the device attempts to re-establish dial-out; restore the receiver and verify publications resume without retyping interactive NETCONF each time.
