Which three steps will reduce the CPU utilization on the management plane? (Choose three.)

Question

Options

• ADisable SNMP on the management interface.
• BApplication override of SSL application.
• CDisable logging at session start in Security policies.
• DDisable predefined reports.
• EReduce the traffic being decrypted by the firewall.

• A
  71% (25)
• B
  20% (7)
• E
  9% (3)

Explanation

The management plane handles logging, reporting, configuration, and protocol processes. Disabling SNMP on the management interface (A) reduces polling overhead that the management plane must process. Disabling logging at session start (C) reduces the volume of log records written - session-start logs are generated for every new connection and consume significant management plane I/O and CPU. Disabling predefined reports (D) eliminates scheduled report generation, which is a CPU-intensive management plane task. Application override of SSL (B) moves traffic to the fast path on the data plane, not the management plane. Reducing decryption (E) offloads SSL processing from the data plane - neither B nor E directly reduces management plane CPU.
