CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 339

An administrator is investigating reports of network slowness in a building. While looking at the uplink interface statistics in the switch's CLI, the administrator discovers the uplink is at 100% utilization. However, the administrator is unsure how to identify what traffic is causing the saturation. Which of the following tools should the administrator utilize to identify the source and destination addresses of the traffic?

Answer options

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct tool to identify source and destination addresses of traffic is NetFlow, as it provides detailed information about network traffic flows. SNMP, Traps, and Syslog do not provide granular traffic flow information necessary to pinpoint the specific traffic causing saturation.
