Why will a PoP deployed in a network with no outbound access fail to be useful?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
If your PoP has no outbound access, its results never reach the Instana backend. It can run tests, but nobody sees them, so it is useless.
Full Explanation
A PoP in a network with no outbound access fails because it cannot report results to the Instana backend, so its tests produce nothing anyone can see. Reporting makes results visible, alertable, and comparable over time. Without outbound connectivity the PoP is isolated and output never arrives. The claim that it cannot start because internet access is needed only at launch is wrong because the requirement is ongoing, not startup-only. The claim that it stores results locally for manual retrieval, which is inefficient, is wrong because there is no local-store-and-collect mode substituting for reporting. The claim that it cannot test internal targets is wrong because internal targets are reachable; the return path is blocked. For the exam, include outbound reporting connectivity in PoP prerequisites.
