Quizplus · Accepted Answer

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is specifically designed to retrieve and modify information about network devices such as routers, switches, and servers. It provides a way for network administrators to monitor network performance, detect and resolve network faults, and monitor the flow of network traffic. The other options, DNS (Domain Name System) and DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), are used for different purposes such as translating domain names into IP addresses or assigning IP addresses to devices on the network. ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) is used for diagnosing network problems and troubleshooting connectivity issues but cannot retrieve or modify configuration information.
