A company wants to run a network monitoring application that requires high CPU and memory resources. They are evaluating whether to host it on a Catalyst 9000 switch or on a separate server. What is the primary advantage of off-box hosting in this scenario?

Off-box hosting allows the application to access the switch's APIs more easily

Off-box hosting provides more resources and avoids impacting the switch's performance

Off-box hosting is always cheaper than on-box hosting

Off-box hosting eliminates the need for network connectivity

A company is deciding whether to host a network analytics application on a Catalyst 9000 switch or on a dedicated server. The application requires significant CPU and memory, and the switch is already handling high network traffic. The company wants to minimize the risk of impacting network performance. What is the best decision?

Host the application off-box on a dedicated server, using APIs to access switch data

Host the application on the switch with strict resource limits

Host the application on the switch and increase the switch's memory

Host the application on the switch and use QoS to prioritize network traffic

A developer is building an IOx application that needs to retrieve the current VLAN configuration from the host switch. The application runs in a Linux container. What is the recommended way to obtain this information?

Use SNMP to poll the switch from within the container

SSH into the switch's management interface from the container

Read the switch's running-config file directly from the container

Use the IOx API to query the network device's configuration
