HPE6-A45 Exam - Question 85


A network administrator needs to find the source of a performance issue. The administrator has seen that interfaces sometimes start to drop many packets, but the issue is intermittent, and the administrator is not sure exactly when it happens. The administrator wants to be alerted when interfaces start to drop packets.

The switches already have an SNMP trap server configured on them.

What else should an administrator do on these switches?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: B

To ensure the administrator is alerted when interfaces start to drop packets, they should set up RMON alarms on dropped packet statistics. RMON (Remote Monitoring) allows for proactive monitoring of network health and can be configured to trigger alarms when specific thresholds are exceeded, such as the number of dropped packets. This solution provides detailed and timely alerts that are necessary for diagnosing intermittent network performance issues.
