A network administrator needs to gather performance metrics and status information from routers and switches to monitor the health of the network proactively. Which protocol is commonly used to collect this management data from network devices?
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is the standard protocol used to collect management data from network devices. SNMP enables administrators to retrieve information such as performance metrics and device status, facilitating proactive monitoring and management. Other protocols like SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) handle email transmission, SSH (Secure Shell) provides secure remote access, and DNS (Domain Name System) resolves domain names to IP addresses; none of these are designed for collecting management data from network devices.
