A worked example
Shown solved, with the whole explanation open: this is what every question here carries.
Notifications from a branch device cross a lossy WAN and some never reach the monitoring platform. Which notification type lets the sender learn that one arrived?
Correct.
Concept
A notification carried over a datagram service has no delivery guarantee, and a sender with no acknowledgement cannot tell a delivered event from a lost one. Adding a reply to the exchange turns a fire and forget message into one the sender can retry.
Why B
The confirmed form of notification is answered by the receiver, so the originator knows the event was taken and can resend if it was not. Delivery is still not guaranteed, but the sender is no longer blind to a loss.
Now you: objective 4.4 questions
No account needed. The explanation opens when you answer.
Sample question 1 of 3
A monitoring platform gets no answer to a poll sent to a busy switch. Which component decides whether that poll is sent again?
Sample question 2 of 3
An engineer walks a large interface table and switches to bulk retrieval with a very high repetition count. Responses now arrive fragmented and some collections fail.
Sample question 3 of 3
A switch is configured to send an alert to a monitoring platform when a fan fails, without being asked for it. Which application role is the switch running?
That’s 3 of the full CCNA bank.
