Which Cisco Meraki best practice method preserves complete historical network event logs?

  1. Configuring the preserved event number to maximize logging.
  2. Configuring the preserved event period to unlimited.
  3. Configuring a syslog server for the network.
  4. Configuring Dashboard logging to preserve only certain event types.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Configuring a syslog server for the network is the Cisco Meraki best practice method to preserve complete historical network event logs. A syslog server can be configured to store messages for reporting purposes from MX Security Appliances, MR Access Points, and MS switches1. The syslog server can collect various types of events, such as VPN connectivity, uplink connectivity, DHCP leases, firewall rules, IDS alerts, and security events2. The syslog server can also help with troubleshooting and monitoring the network performance and security.



Which design requirement is met by implementing syslog versus SNMP?

  1. when automation capabilities are needed
  2. when proactive alerts for critical events must be generated
  3. when organization-wide information must be collected
  4. when information such as flows and client connectivity must be gathered

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Implementing syslog versus SNMP can meet the design requirement of gathering information such as flows and client connectivity. Syslog can collect and report various types of events, such as VPN connectivity, uplink connectivity, DHCP leases, firewall rules, IDS alerts, and security events. Syslog can also provide detailed information about the flows and client connectivity on the network devices, such as source and destination IP addresses, ports, protocols, bytes transferred, etc. SNMP, on the other hand, can collect and report various statistics and information about the network devices, such as CPU utilization, interface status, memory usage, etc. However, SNMP does not provide as much information about the flows and client connectivity as syslog does.

The VPN concentrator is experiencing issues.
Which action should be taken to ensure a stable environment?

  1. Add a deny any/any firewall rule to the end of the firewall rules.
  2. Remove the connection from Internet 1.
  3. Physically disconnect all LAN ports.
  4. Configure the MX appliance to Routed mode on the Addressing & VLANS page.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Before deploying MXs as one-arm VPN concentrators, place them into Passthrough or VPN Concentrator mode on the Addressing and VLANs page. In one-armed VPN concentrator mode, the units in the pair are connected to the network "only" via their respective `Internet' ports. Make sure they are NOT connected directly via their LAN ports. Each MX must be within the same IP subnet and able to communicate with each other, as well as with the Meraki dashboard. Only VPN traffic is routed to the MX, and both ingress and egress packets are sent through the same interface.

A packet arrives on the VPN concentrator with source IP 10.168.70.3 and destined for IP 10.116.32.4.

What is the next hop for the packet, based on this concentrator routing table?

  1. The concentrator gateway (10.128.124.62) is the next hop.
  2. Not enough detail is available to determine the next hop.
  3. The packet is stopped.
  4. The Auto VPN peer "Store 1532 ­ appliance" is the next hop.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

This can be determined by looking at the concentrator routing table and finding the entry for the destination IP 10.116.32.4. The next hop for this entry is the Auto VPN peer "Store 1532 ­ appliance". This question is related to the topic of Implementing Dynamic Routing Protocols in the Engineering Cisco Meraki Solutions (ECMS) official training documentation. You can find more information about this topic in the ECMS v2.2 Course Overview or the ECMS1 v2.1 Course Overview.



Company iPads are enrolled in Systems Manager without supervision, and profiles are pushed through Systems Manager.

Which outcome occurs when a user attempts to remove the "Meraki Management" profile on an iPad?

  1. The "Meraki Management" profile cannot be removed.
  2. The "Meraki Management" profile is removed and then pushed automatically by Systems Manager.
  3. The "Meraki Management" profile is removed. All the profiles that Systems Manager pushed are also removed.
  4. The "Meraki Management" profile is removed. All the profiles Systems Manager pushed remain.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

On the device, navigate to Settings > General > Device Management

Select Meraki Management, and select Remove to delete the management profile and any managed configuration profiles installed via SM
