Employees with an Apple iOS device have been causing congestion on the company's internet. What should an administrator configure to target these devices when creating a Business policy for this…

Question

Options

• AAction Priority
• BAction Network Service
• CMatch Source
• DMatch Destination

• A
  81% (25)
• B
  3% (1)
• C
  3% (1)
• D
  13% (4)

Explanation

Action Priority is the correct setting because, in business policy configuration (such as Cisco Meraki or similar platforms), it defines how traffic from specific device types-including Apple iOS-is treated in terms of bandwidth or queue priority. By configuring Action Priority, the administrator can throttle or deprioritize iOS device traffic to relieve congestion, directly targeting those devices as the source of the problem.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B (Action Network Service) defines what service or application the action applies to (e.g., YouTube, Netflix), not the device type causing congestion.
• C (Match Source) identifies traffic by originating IP address or subnet, not by device OS/type.
• D (Match Destination) identifies traffic by destination IP or service endpoint-still not device-type-specific targeting.

Memory tip: Think "A for Apple" - Action Priority is where you act on the offending device type. Match Source/Destination are about where traffic comes from or goes, while Action settings control what you do about it.
