During the setup of network device monitoring, a network administrator needs to access detailed information about device performance and status. To achieve this, which component should they interact with?
The Management Information Base (MIB) is the correct answer because it contains hierarchical descriptions of all the network objects that can be managed. The MIB allows administrators to gather detailed information about device performance and status efficiently, unlike SNMP Traps, which are used for asynchronous event notification, or Community strings, which authenticate access to a device's saved data, without providing detailed information themselves. Access Control Lists (ACLs) are used primarily for security to control traffic flow, not for information retrieval about device performance and status.
