After a critical power issue, the network team was not receiving UPS status notifications. The network team would like to be alerted on these status changes. Which of the following would be BEST to use tor these notifications?
Correct Answer: A
* The question asks about the best method to use for the network team to receive UPS status notifications after a critical power issue. The UPS is an uninterruptible power supply that provides backup power to the network devices in case of a power outage or surge1.
* The answer is traps, which are unsolicited messages that are sent from an agent to a manager to notify about an event or a condition that requires attention2. Traps can be used to alert the network team about the UPS status changes, such as battery level, load, temperature, or power failure3.
* MB, NetFlow, and Syslog are not the correct answers, because they are not the best methods to use for the UPS status notifications. MB stands for megabyte, which is a unit of data storage4. NetFlow is a protocol that collects and analyzes network traffic data. Syslog is a standard for logging and monitoring system events. These methods are not designed to send alerts about the UPS status changes, and they may not be reliable or timely in case of a critical power issue. References:
