Which of the following network monitoring resources would be used to analyze possible connectivity issues such as duplex mismatches and uptime statistics?

The correct answer is B. Syslog server. A syslog server collects log messages sent by network devices (switches, routers, firewalls) including interface state changes, duplex mismatch warnings, and device uptime data. These structured log entries are ideal for diagnosing connectivity issues over time. A protocol…

Explanation

A syslog server collects log messages sent by network devices (switches, routers, firewalls) including interface state changes, duplex mismatch warnings, and device uptime data. These structured log entries are ideal for diagnosing connectivity issues over time. A protocol analyzer or packet sniffer captures raw packet data useful for deep traffic inspection, not device-level event logs. IPS logs focus on security threat detection, not general connectivity or interface statistics.
