Explanation
A network tap passively copies traffic flowing through a network link and forwards it to a monitoring device, without interrupting or injecting traffic - making it the least disruptive option. A cable tester (B) requires disconnecting cables. A multimeter (C) measures electrical properties and isn't relevant to network device status. A tone generator (D) is used to trace cable runs physically, not monitor device status.
