A data center has a mix of Juniper and third-party switches. The team wants to use Apstra but is concerned about the effort to manage agents. What is the best approach to minimize agent management overhead?

Use vendor-specific agents for each device type

Use the Junos agent for all devices, as it is the most reliable

Use the generic agent for all devices to simplify management

Replace third-party switches with Juniper to use only the Junos agent

An Apstra administrator is upgrading the agent on a switch. The upgrade fails, and the agent is no longer running. The switch is still reachable. What is the best course of action?

Reinstall the agent from the Apstra UI

Manually download and install the agent on the switch

Remove the switch from Apstra and re-add it

Reboot the switch to restore the agent

A network team is evaluating Apstra for its data center. They want to understand how Apstra manages devices. What is the primary role of a device agent?

To replace the device's operating system

To act as a proxy for SNMP-based monitoring

To provide a CLI for the device

To translate Apstra's intent into device-specific configurations and report telemetry

What happens when an Apstra device agent needs to be updated?

The device must be physically replaced

The agent cannot be updated once installed

The agent is updated automatically by the Apstra server as part of the management lifecycle

The device must be removed from the fabric and re-added

Where can an administrator view and manage device agents in the Apstra interface?

Under the 'Devices' tab in the fabric view

In the 'Settings' menu under 'Global'

In the 'Analytics' section only
