What is SNMP used for?

  1. Resolving IP to MAC address

  2. Remote management of a device

  3. Handing out IP addresses

  4. Converting FQDNs to IPs

The correct answer is: 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.
