CCNA: Cisco Certified Network Associate — Question 1104

Which protocol is implemented when an organization must verify network performance, troubleshoot issues, and use an agent to communicate between monitoring tools and end devices?

Answer options

• A. FIP
• B. NIP
• C. NFS
• D. SNMP

Correct answer: D

Explanation

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is the correct answer because it is specifically designed for monitoring and managing network devices through the use of agents. The other options, such as FIP (Fibre Channel over IP), NIP (Network Interface Protocol), and NFS (Network File System), do not serve the same purpose of performance monitoring and troubleshooting in network environments.
