CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 65

A technician is deploying a new switch model and would like to add it to the existing network monitoring software. The technician wants to know what metrics can be gathered from a given switch. Which of the following should the technician utilize for the switch?

Answer options

• A. MIB
• B. Trap
• C. Syslog
• D. Audit log

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is MIB (Management Information Base) because it defines the metrics that can be monitored for network devices like switches. The other options, such as Trap and Syslog, are methods for receiving alerts or logging information but do not specifically provide the set of metrics that can be gathered from a switch.
