Cisco Prime Collaboration is a network management tool that provides a unified view of the entire collaboration infrastructure, including voice, video, and messaging services. To monitor the collaboration infrastructure, Cisco Prime Collaboration can receive notifications, such as Traps and InformRequests, from several network devices.

These notifications are sent using the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), which is a protocol used for managing and monitoring network devices. SNMP works by sending messages, known as SNMP packets or SNMP traps, between network devices. SNMP packets can be sent using different transport protocols, including UDP and TCP, and different port numbers, depending on the type of message being sent.

In the context of Cisco Prime Collaboration, the protocol and port combination used for receiving notifications from network devices is UDP port 162. This is the standard port used for SNMP traps, which are unsolicited messages sent by network devices to notify the management system of an event or error condition.

Therefore, the correct answer to the question is A. UDP 162.
