Question 30
Two network scans report the same switch under different names but both supply the same trusted serial number. After the implementation, what evidence most directly demonstrates the intended result?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Replay both payloads through identification simulation and verify a single matched switch CI. That distinguishes a functioning identification on natural key path from a configuration that was merely entered.
Incorrect Answers
Compare the simulated match/insert decision with the expected existing CI and inspect the chosen rule. That check cannot demonstrate replay both payloads through identification simulation and verify a single matched switch CI.
This inspects an observable outcome of reconciliation source ownership: Send conflicting test updates and verify the CMDB retains the authorized source value while tracking attribution. That check cannot demonstrate replay both payloads through identification simulation and verify a single matched switch CI.
Simulate payloads with both values and inspect which identifier entry matched the existing CI. That check cannot demonstrate replay both payloads through identification simulation and verify a single matched switch CI.
