You want to gather as much detail as possible during a network audit, including data time stamping across a large number of interfaces with minimal impact on the network devices themselves. Which tool would you use to meet these requirements?

  • NetFlow
  • SNMPv3
  • Syslog
  • SPAN
  • CDP

Explanation: NetFlow is the best tool for this requirement because it provides detailed statistics on packet flows, including time stamping (flow start and end times), while being completely transparent to the network with minimal impact on device performance. It is primarily used for network accounting and security auditing.
