I'm not really sure about the answer, but it could be B "The appliance will try once to upload the file; if upload is not successful, for example because of connectivity problems, the file may not be uploaded. If the failure was because the file analysis server was overloaded, the upload will be attempted once more.' https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/security/email-security-appliance/118796-technote-esa-00.html

The network is congested in this case so that means connectivity problems are occurring and so as many people have wrote but not emphasized. Theresa will drop the file and not upload it again because of connectivity issues.

Network congestion is a network connectivity issue as packets are being dropped because the network devices can’t handle the absurd amount of network traffic.

The correct answer to me even is D. The first part of the question is just noise to distract. The emphasis to me is the second half of the question - How will Cisco ESA handle any files which need analysis? The Cisco ESA will not abandon the file upload. Instead, it will continue to attempt to upload the file until communication is restored. If the file is still not uploaded after a certain period of time, the Cisco ESA will cache the file and continue to attempt to upload it periodically https://bard.google.com/chat/e3b8e30fe3160083

Read this : https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/security/email-security-appliance/118796-technote-esa-00.html#anc5 Highlighting important notes: If a file has recently been uploaded from any source, the file will not be uploaded again. For file analysis results for this file, search for the SHA-256 from the File Analysis reporting page. The appliance will try once to upload the file; if upload is not successful, for example because of connectivity problems, the file may not be uploaded. If the failure was because the file analysis server was overloaded, the upload will be attempted once more.

Selected Answer: C
The AMP first tries to compare file's hash to the cloud DB and if there is no such file it tries to upload it. It will retry if the upload fails.

its B the question clearly states that "The network is congested and is affecting communication." & its mentioned in ESA configuration guide "The appliance will try once to upload the file; if upload is not successful, for example because of connectivity problems, the file may not be uploaded." https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/security/email-security-appliance/118796-technote-esa-00.html

Cisco ESA adds a record of the SHA256 of this file to its internal database, where it is kept for up to 12 hours, and starts periodically querying if the analysis was complete, until it receives a positive response back from the file analysis service i think C

I actually believe the answer is D. I got it from Cisco website, here is the paragraph “The appliance will try once to upload the file; if upload is not successful, for example because of connectivity problems, the file may not be uploaded. If the failure was because the file analysis server was overloaded, the upload will be attempted once more.“ Please feel free to correct me if you think it’s not. This is the link: You will find it as the second point where they say Highly Important Notes: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/security/email-security-appliance/118796-technote-esa-00.html#anc1

" If the failure was because the file analysis server was overloaded the upload will be attempted once more. " The network is congested as the question points out. The question doesnt mention about the analysis server being overloaded.

There is NO (Zero) file upload, only a hash exchange making answer C the only correct answer.

Cisco likes to do this, do not go down the path they are leading where they want you to over think. They would have said the file analysis server was overloaded if they wanted you to know about periodic upload. This question test your ability to know how AMP communicates about file reputation.

What about A. Highlighting important notes: If a file has recently been uploaded from any source, the file will not be uploaded again. For file analysis results for this file, search for the SHA-256 from the File Analysis reporting page.
