200-301: Cisco Certified Network AssociateDemo

An agent is the daemon that resides on a managed node and checks in with the central authority to see whether updates are available. The push model has the central server proactively send configuration to nodes as needed, whereas the pull model has each node request and automatically install or deploy the configuration or update itself. Provisioning is an easy, low-overhead deployment approach (such as zero-touch/plug-and-play provisioning) that can lack the scalability of full configuration-management tooling. Agentless management means the device hardware runs without any embedded management software (agent) installed on it. "Post" is not a real configuration-management term and is the unused distractor in this item.
