CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 229

A network team is getting reports that air conditioning is out in an IDF. The team would like to determine whether additional network issues are occurring. Which of the following should the network team do?

Answer options

• A. Confirm that memory usage on the network devices in the IDF is normal.
• B. Access network baseline data for references to an air conditioning issue.
• C. Verify severity levels on the corporate syslog server.
• D. Check for SNMP traps from a network device in the IDF.
• E. Review interface statistics looking for cyclic redundancy errors.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Checking for SNMP traps from a network device in the IDF is crucial because it can reveal real-time alerts or issues directly related to the network's condition. The other options either focus on unrelated metrics or do not provide immediate insight into the potential impact of the air conditioning failure on network performance.
