Which of the following is not part of the analysis scope of the iMaster NCE-FabricInsight network snapshot function?

Question

Options

• ABGP and OSPF protocols
• BDevice startup configuration
• CNumber of packets lost on the interface
• DARP entries

• A
  4% (1)
• B
  72% (18)
• C
  8% (2)
• D
  16% (4)

Explanation

Option B is correct because the iMaster NCE-FabricInsight network snapshot function is designed to capture and analyze the live, operational state of a network - startup configuration is a static file stored on the device that only takes effect at boot, making it outside the scope of a runtime snapshot analysis. Options A, C, and D are all incorrect as distractors because BGP and OSPF protocol states, interface packet loss counters, and ARP entries are all dynamic, real-time data points that reflect the current network condition, which is exactly what the snapshot function is built to examine. In essence, the snapshot captures what the network is actively doing, not what it is configured to do when it next restarts.

Memory tip: Think of the word "snapshot" literally - it freezes a moment of live network activity. Startup configuration only matters when the device powers on, so it never appears in a live operational snapshot.
