Designing for Cisco Internetwork Solutions (DESGN, legacy) — Question 59

You want to gather as much detail as possible during a network audit with a minimal impact on the network devices themselves. Which tool would you use to include data time stamping across a large number of interfaces while being customized according to each interface?

Answer options

Correct answer: C

Explanation

NetFlow is the correct choice because it allows for detailed monitoring of network traffic and can time stamp data for various interfaces, making it highly customizable. RMON, while useful for monitoring, does not provide the same level of detail or customization. SNMPv3 focuses on network management rather than traffic analysis, and Cisco Discovery Protocol is primarily used for device discovery, lacking the detailed traffic data needed for this audit.
