CCDE: Cisco Certified Design Expert (Practical) — Question 138

Company XYZ wants to use the FCAPS ISO standard for network management design. The focus of the design should be to minimize network outages by employing a set of procedures and activities to detect and isolate network issues and the appropriate corrective actions to overcome current issues and prevent them from occurring again. Which layer accomplishes this design requirement?

Answer options

• A. fault management
• B. accounting management
• C. security management
• D. performance management

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, fault management, as it specifically deals with identifying and resolving network issues to minimize outages. The other options, such as accounting management, security management, and performance management, focus on different aspects of network operations and do not primarily address the detection and isolation of faults in the network.
