CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 848

After a critical power issue, the network team was not receiving UPS status notifications. The network team would like to be alerted on these status changes.
Which of the following would be BEST to use for these notifications?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Traps are the best option for sending real-time alerts about changes in UPS status, as they provide immediate notifications to the network management system. MIB is a database used for managing devices but does not directly send alerts, while NetFlow is used for analyzing network traffic rather than monitoring device statuses. Syslog can capture system messages but is less effective for immediate alerts compared to traps.
