Which of the following protocols would be involved in the
implementation of a router and interconnectivity device
monitoring system?
A. Simple network management
B. File transfer
C. Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
D. Telnet
Answer / guest
Answer: A
The simple network management protocol provides a means to
monitor and control network devices and to manage
configurations and performance. The file transfer protocol
(FTP), transfers files from a computer on the Internet to
the user's computer and does not have any functionality
related to monitoring network devices. Simple Mail Transfer
Protocol (SMTP) is a protocol for sending and receiving
e-mail messages and does not provide any monitoring or
management for network devices. Telnet is a standard
terminal emulation protocol used for remote terminal
connections, enabling users to log into remote systems and
use resources as if they were connected to a local system
and does not provide any monitoring or management of network
devices.
