Trend Exam Deep-Security-Professional Topic 9 Question 61 Discussion

Actual exam question for Trend's Deep-Security-Professional exam
Question #: 61
Topic #: 9
[All Deep-Security-Professional Questions]

An administrator attempts to activate the Deep Security Agent installed on a server by typing the following command in the Command Prompt on the Deep Security Agent computer:

dsa_control -a dsm://server1.acme.com:4120

The Agent does not activate as expected. What is a valid reason for this issue?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

dsa_control -a dsm://<host or IP>:/

For the command-line Agent activation option to work, Deep Security Manager must be set to ac-cept Agent-Initiated Activations (AIA) commands. This method is particularly useful when using scripts or in Cloud environments like Amazon Web Services where Deep Security Manager can not typically connect to Deep Security Agents to activate them, but the Agents can connect to Deep Security Manager.

This one seems pretty straightforward. I'd start by double-checking the port number in the command to make sure it matches the correct port for the Deep Security Agent.

Dude, this is like trying to turn on the TV without the remote. You gotta enable that 'Allow Agent-Initiated Activation' thing, or it's game over!

Yeah, you're right. 'Allow Agent-Initiated Activation' needs to be enabled.

Ah, the old 'Allow Agent-Initiated Activation' trick. It's like trying to start a car without the keys - not gonna happen!

The command can only be executed on the Deep Security Manager computer? Well, that's just plain silly. I'm the admin, I should be able to do it from anywhere!

Activating the agent through the web console? What is this, the Stone Age? I want my command prompt, thank you very much!

The incorrect port was used. The correct command would be: dsa_control -a dsm://server1.acme.com:4118

Wait, the correct port is 4118? That's like trying to unlock a door with the wrong key - totally useless!

B) Deep Security Agents can not be activated through the Command Prompt. They must be activated through the Deep Security Manager Web console or through a deployment script.
