Designing for Cisco Internetwork Solutions (DESGN, legacy) — Question 60

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

Answer options

Correct answer: C

Explanation

NetFlow is designed to provide detailed traffic analysis and can capture data with timestamps for various interfaces without significantly affecting the performance of network devices. RMON and SNMPv3 do not offer the same level of granularity in traffic data as NetFlow, while Cisco Discovery Protocol is primarily used for network device discovery rather than detailed traffic auditing.
