CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 837

Users in a branch can access an in-house database server, but it is taking too long to fetch records. The analyst does not know whether the issue is being caused by network latency. Which of the following will the analyst MOST likely use to retrieve the metrics that are needed to resolve this issue?

Answer options

• A. SNMP
• B. Link state
• C. Syslog
• D. QoS
• E. Traffic shaping

Correct answer: A

Explanation

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is the most suitable tool for gathering network-related metrics, making it the correct answer. The other options, such as Link state, Syslog, QoS, and Traffic shaping, do not provide the specific metrics required to analyze network performance and latency.
