Which FCAPS aspect gathers user and network usage statistics?

• A. Network Maintenance
• B. Administration/Accounts
• C. Threat Emulation and Continuous Validation Assessment
• D. Secure and Protect

Answer: (B)

In FCAPS, this task falls under Accounting. Accounting is all about tracking how resources are used, which includes gathering user and network usage statistics, such as who used the network, what resources were consumed, and for how long or how much data was transferred. This data supports billing, chargeback, auditing, and capacity planning. The other FCAPS areas focus on different goals: Fault management handles detecting and resolving problems; Configuration management tracks device settings and changes; Performance management monitors metrics like latency and throughput; Security management protects resources and enforces policies. The security-centric options listed relate to protection rather than usage data, and Maintenance isn’t a standard FCAPS category. So, Administration/Accounts aligns with gathering usage statistics.
