Which mapping approach uses out-of-the-box and custom patterns to traverse from one CI to the next during service mapping?
- A. Traffic-based mapping
- B. Pattern-based mapping ✓
- C. Horizontal discovery only
- D. Manual mapping
Pattern-based mapping uses identification and connection sections within patterns to discover a CI and find its outbound connections to the next tier. A is incorrect because traffic-based mapping relies on observed network connections rather than patterns. C is incorrect because horizontal discovery is a separate process. D is incorrect because manual mapping is performed by an operator, not by patterns.
Every question carries reasoning like this. All original, mapped to the public exam blueprint — no real or recalled exam items are reproduced.
