CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 174

An engineer is gathering data to determine the effectiveness of UPSs in use at remote retail locations. Which of the following statistics can the engineer use to determine the availability of the remote network equipment?

Answer options

• A. Uptime
• B. NetFlow baseline
• C. SNMP traps
• D. Interface statistics

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Uptime is the most relevant statistic for assessing the availability of network equipment, as it indicates the amount of time the equipment has been operational without interruption. NetFlow baseline, SNMP traps, and interface statistics provide information about traffic and performance, but they do not directly measure availability.
