Question: 1 / 525

What is SNMP used for?

Resolving IP to MAC address

Remote management of a device

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is used for remote management and monitoring of devices within a network. Option A, resolving IP to MAC address, is typically achieved through the use of ARP (Address Resolution Protocol). Option C, handing out IP addresses, is typically performed by a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server. Option D, converting FQDNs to IPs, is the job of a DNS (Domain Name System) server. Therefore, options A, C, and D are all incorrect in terms of the specific function of SNMP.
