A manufacturer needs a probe at the data center edge that keeps running when no engineer laptop is logged in. Which placement fits?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A camera bolted to the wall keeps watching after everyone closes their laptops and goes to lunch. You want a dedicated Enterprise Agent at the data center edge so the probe stays up with nobody logged in. An endpoint on a laptop, a cloud agent that misses the plant hops, or a span session is not that edge fixture.
Full Explanation
The manufacturer wants the probe at the data center edge, and it has to keep running when no laptop is logged in. A dedicated Enterprise Agent hosted at the data center edge is that placement: its own host, at the edge, independent of an engineer session. An Endpoint Agent on one engineer laptop that can sleep moves with that laptop and stops when the session ends, so the edge goes unmonitored whenever the engineer logs off. A cloud agent that cannot see the hops inside the plant begins outside. It may reach a public address at the site and still miss the edge hops the plant needs in the path. A span session that copies edge packets and is not an Enterprise Agent feeds a capture from a mirror. It does not place an Enterprise Agent at the data center edge. Exam caveat: a dedicated host, a user laptop, a cloud vantage point, and a span are different collection points, and this requirement is the dedicated agent at the edge. Operational check: confirm the agent stays active at the data center edge while engineer laptops are logged off, and that a path test from it includes the edge hop under study.
