A technician is troubleshooting connectivity issues and needs to promiscuously route a copy of traffic to a separate machine for analysis. Which of the following physical tools would best accomplish this task?
C
A network tap is a physical device that allows promiscuous monitoring of network traffic by creating a copy of the data packets for analysis. A toner probe is used to trace and identify cables. A Wi-Fi analyzer is used to measure wireless signal strength and interference. A loopback plug is used to test network ports or cables by sending and receiving signals from the same device.
The correct answer is C. Network tap.
A network tap is a hardware device that allows you to monitor network traffic without disrupting the network. It intercepts a copy of the network traffic and sends it to a monitoring device, such as a computer running a packet capture tool like Wireshark. This allows the technician to analyze the network traffic in detail and identify any potential issues.
GG
A TAP is a dedicated hardware device that sits between network devices (such as switches or routers) and copies all traffic passing through it.
It provides a full-duplex copy of network data to an external monitoring or analysis device.
TAPs are commonly used for network monitoring, security analysis, and troubleshooting.
They are passive, meaning they do not introduce any latency or affect network performance.
