• B. It is a vulnerability scanner.
• C. It is a coding IDE.
• D. It is a traffic generator.

Answer: (A)

SolarWinds IP Network Browser is a network discovery and IP address management tool. It scans a range of IP addresses to detect live devices and gathers details such as IP, hostname, MAC address, vendor, device type, and status. This enables you to build an up-to-date inventory of assets and, often, visualize how they fit together on the network. This focus on locating hosts and organizing IPs and devices is what sets it apart from other utilities. It isn’t a vulnerability scanner (which would probe for security weaknesses), a coding IDE (used for software development), or a traffic generator (which creates test traffic).
