The correct answer is A. fault management. The Fault Management layer of FCAPS is responsible for detecting, isolating, and correcting network faults to minimize outages.
Question
Company XYZ wants to use the FCAPS ISO standard for network management design. The focus of the design should be to minimize network outages by employing a set of procedures and activities to detect and isolate network issues and the appropriate corrective actions to overcome current issues and prevent them from occurring again. Which layer accomplishes this design requirement?
Options
- Afault management
- Baccounting management
- Csecurity management
- Dperformance management

Why each option
The Fault Management layer of FCAPS is responsible for detecting, isolating, and correcting network faults to minimize outages.
Fault Management in the FCAPS model specifically covers the detection, isolation, and correction of abnormal network conditions. It encompasses proactive and reactive procedures - such as alarm correlation and root-cause analysis - to restore service and prevent recurrence. This directly matches the requirement to minimize outages through detection, isolation, and corrective actions.
Accounting management tracks resource usage and billing data, not fault detection or isolation.
Security management controls access policies, authentication, and authorization to protect network resources.
Performance management monitors throughput, latency, and utilization to optimize network efficiency, not to isolate and correct faults.
