CompTIA Network+ (N10-006) — Question 19

While monitoring the network, a technician notices that the network traffic to one of the servers is extremely high.
Which of the following should the technician use to verify if this is a concern?

Answer options

• A. Log management
• B. Network diagram
• C. Network baseline
• D. Real time monitor

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as a network baseline provides a reference point for normal traffic levels, helping to identify anomalies. A. Log management focuses on recording events rather than analyzing traffic patterns. B. A network diagram visually represents the network but does not provide traffic data. D. Real-time monitoring can show current traffic but may not indicate if the traffic level is abnormal without a baseline.
