Explanation:

In this scenario, you administer your company's 100BaseTX Ethernet network. TCP/IP is the networking protocol used on the network. Also, you want the routers on the network to send you notices when they have exceeded specified performance thresholds. Hence, you should use the SNMP to enable the routers to send the notices.

SNMP is an acronym for simple network management protocol, which is a standardized application-layer protocol that is used for monitoring and organizing management information about network devices on either a wide area network (WAN) or local area network (LAN).

Basically, the SNMP helps to provide a common language for network devices such as switches, routers, printers, servers etc to share information with a network management system.

A simple network management protocol (SNMP) is part of the Transmission Control Protocol and Internet Protocol (TCP⁄IP) suite.
