Front

If the network has an uptime of four nines, how is that represented in percentage?

Back

99.99%

Answer explanation

Uptime of four nines means 99.99%. Each 'nine' represents a decimal place, so four nines translates to 99.99%, indicating the network is operational 99.99% of the time.

Front

Sophia is working on a project that involves monitoring network devices. She needs to use a protocol that utilizes OIDs and MIBs for data collection. Which protocol should she use?

Back

SNMP

Answer explanation

The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) uses Object Identifiers (OIDs) and Management Information Bases (MIBs) to manage and monitor network devices, making it the correct choice for this question.
