Catalyst Center keeps device configuration and operational alerting in separate subsystems. An engineer must both build an SD-Access fabric and be told when a provisioning job fails. Which statement correctly pairs what the SD-Access automation workflow does with what the event notification system does?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Two different functions handle the two jobs: the fabric build comes from the SD-Access workflow, while event notifications can deliver supported failure events to an external endpoint. Neither half can cover for the other, and that's the pairing the exam wants you to see.
Full Explanation
SD-Access automation in Catalyst Center, formerly DNA Center, includes design information such as fabric sites, node roles, virtual networks and security group tags, followed by provisioning that configures devices for the fabric. Alerts come from a separate subsystem: an event notification can subscribe to supported platform events, including applicable job-failure events, and deliver them to a configured external endpoint such as a webhook. Watching the assurance dashboard does not itself send an alert to the engineer. Device templates can push device configuration, but they do not by themselves build the fabric sites, node roles, virtual networks or group policy. A per-switch syslog rule is not a subscription to a Catalyst Center provisioning job failure; the controller job status is a platform event. Available notification events and delivery options can vary by release, so check the documentation for the deployed version rather than relying on a menu path. To validate a setup, confirm that a supported failure event is subscribed to and that the configured endpoint receives its notification.
