350-401 · Question #822

An engineer applies this EEM applet to a router: What does the applet accomplish?

The correct answer is A. It generates a syslog message every 600 seconds on the status of the specified MAC. The EEM applet is configured to execute periodically, generating a syslog message that reports on the status of a specified MAC address every 600 seconds.

Why each option

The EEM applet is configured to execute periodically, generating a syslog message that reports on the status of a specified MAC address every 600 seconds.

AIt generates a syslog message every 600 seconds on the status of the specified MACCorrect

EEM applets can be configured with a `timer watchdog` to trigger actions periodically, and an `action cli command` can be used to execute commands whose output can then be logged via a syslog message, such as checking a MAC address status.

BIt checks the MAC address table every 600 seconds to see if the specified address has been

While the applet might check the MAC address, its described primary accomplishment according to common EEM use cases and the option's wording is to generate a syslog message, not just to check.

CIt compares syslog output to the MAC address table every 600 seconds and generates an

This option describes a complex comparison of syslog output to the MAC address table, which is an unlikely and overly specific interpretation for a generic EEM applet tasked with reporting a MAC status via syslog.

DIt compares syslog output to the MAC address table every 600 seconds and generates an

This option is identical to option C, describing an unlikely and overly specific action that is not a primary function of simple EEM applets for status reporting.
