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.

Afault managementCorrect

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.

Baccounting management

Accounting management tracks resource usage and billing data, not fault detection or isolation.

Csecurity management

Security management controls access policies, authentication, and authorization to protect network resources.

Dperformance management

Performance management monitors throughput, latency, and utilization to optimize network efficiency, not to isolate and correct faults.
