A company needs to monitor and manage network devices remotely, collecting data such as CPU usage, memory utilization, and interface statistics. Which protocol is specifically designed to facilitate this type of network management by allowing administrators to retrieve and modify information from network devices?
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is designed specifically for network management by allowing administrators to retrieve and modify information from managed devices on IP networks. It collects data such as CPU usage, memory utilization, and interface statistics, enabling remote monitoring and management.
SSH (Secure Shell) provides secure remote access to network devices but is not intended for collecting and managing performance metrics.
Syslog is used for logging system messages and collecting log data, not for retrieving or modifying device configurations or performance statistics.
NetFlow is used for capturing IP network traffic to analyze flow data but does not provide the capability to retrieve or modify detailed device performance information.
