When setting up a network device monitoring strategy, which approach enables the automatic receipt of alerts upon specific event occurrences without requiring a management system to initiate a check?
Scheduling the management system to regularly query the network devices for updates.
Enabling the network devices to send notifications independently using an advanced version emphasizing security with authentication and encryption.
Implementing a widely-used, original version of the network management protocol to ensure compatibility.
Adopting a notification-by-acknowledgment mode for transmitting event data from network devices.
To receive alerts without the need for regular polling by the management system, network devices can be configured to transmit notifications autonomously when certain events are detected. This is a critical mechanism for immediate identification and response to network incidents. The most secure way to configure this functionality is to use a current and robust version of the management protocol offering strong authentication and encryption features. It is understood that the said protocol refers to the latest version available, providing enhanced security compared to earlier versions that lack sufficient security measures. Comparatively, systematic checks involve a passive approach, hence not suitable for the proactive requirement. Furthermore, employing the capabilities of older, less secure iterations of the protocol would compromise security. Lastly, notification mechanisms that require acknowledgments can slow down the reporting process and are not ideal for rapid notifications in dynamic network environments.
