Question
The International Standards Organization / Open Systems Interconnection (ISO/OSI) Layers does NOT have which of the following characteristics?
Options
- AStandard model for network communications
- BUsed to gain information from network devices such as count of packets received and
- CEnables dissimilar networks to communicate
- DDefines 7 protocol layers (a.k.a. protocol stack)
Explanation
The ISO/OSI model is a conceptual framework that standardizes network communication into 7 layers, enables dissimilar networks to communicate through abstraction, and defines the protocol stack. However, it is NOT used to gather operational data from network devices such as packet counts or interface statistics - that function belongs to SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) or similar network management protocols. The OSI model describes how communication should be structured, not how to query device telemetry or statistics.
