• Chose B3

  C is incorrect because Agent-based tools usually require the installation of a software agent on the slave nodes, which often includes a high-level language interpreter such as Python or Ruby to execute configuration instructions sent by the master. Agentless tools do not require a separate messaging system between the master and slave nodes because they communicate directly using protocols like SSH or WinRM hence B is correct

• Chose C1

  Agent-based tools typically do not require a high-level language interpreter like Python or Ruby on slave nodes. Agent-based systems usually involve lightweight agents that can execute tasks independently without relying on a centralized interpreter on each node. These agents are often designed to be lightweight and self-contained, capable of executing tasks based on predefined rules or instructions without the need for a full interpreter.

  From cisco ENCOR prep book : There are two core types of configuration management tools, and there is also a third type that is usually a derivation of an agent-based tool: ▪ Agent-based configuration: With agent-based tools, an agent must be installed on every device that the configuration management tool will manage. ▪ Agentless configuration: Agentless tools do not require that an agent be installed on every device; instead, they communicate via SSH or another API that a device supports. ▪ Proxy-agent configuration: This type of configuration does not require an agent on every device, but it does require some type of “process” or “worker” to communicate with the master server and the remote device.
