Developing Applications and Automating Workflows Using Cisco Platforms (DEVASC) — Question 375

Which IP service is used to monitor the performance of network devices?

Answer options

• A. SNMP
• B. DHCP
• C. DNS
• D. NTP

Correct answer: A

Explanation

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is specifically designed for monitoring and managing network devices, allowing administrators to track performance metrics. In contrast, DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is used for assigning IP addresses, DNS (Domain Name System) resolves domain names to IP addresses, and NTP (Network Time Protocol) synchronizes clocks across network devices, none of which are aimed at performance monitoring.
