Question 1
A. MIB
B. SNMP Manager
C. SysLog Server
D. SNMP Agent
Answer: A B D
Explanation
SNMP is an application-layer protocol that provides a message format for communication between SNMP
managers and agents. SNMP provides a standardized framework and a common language used for the
monitoring and management of devices in a network.
The SNMP framework has three parts:
+ An SNMP manager
+ An SNMP agent
+ A Management Information Base (MIB)
The SNMP manager is the system used to control and monitor the activities of network hosts using SNMP. The
most common managing system is called a Network Management System (NMS). The term NMS can be applied
to either a dedicated device used for network management, or the applications used on such a device. A variety
of network management applications are available for use with SNMP. These features range from simple
command-line applications to feature-rich graphical user interfaces (such as the CiscoWorks2000 line of
products).
The SNMP agent is the software component within the managed device that maintains the data for the device
and reports these data, as needed, to managing systems. The agent and MIB reside on the routing device (router,
access server, or switch). To enable the SNMP agent on a Cisco routing device, you must define the relationship
between the manager and the agent.
The Management Information Base (MIB) is a virtual information storage area for network management
information, which consists of collections of managed objects.

Question 2
A. Netflow
B. WCCP
C. IP SLA
D. SNMP
Answer: D
Explanation
They mean that the SNMP agent on the device has taken too much time to process a request.
You can determine the cause of high CPU use in a router by using the output of the show process cpu
command.
Note: A managed device is a part of the network that requires some form of monitoring and management
(routers, switches, servers, workstations, printers…).

Question 3
A. TRAP
B. INFORM
C. GET
D. SET
Answer: A B
Explanation
A TRAP is a SNMP message sent from one application to another (which is typically on a remote host). Their
purpose is merely to notify the other application that something has happened, has been noticed, etc. The big
problem with TRAPs is that they’re unacknowledged so you don’t actually know if the remote application
received your oh-so-important message to it. SNMPv2 PDUs fixed this by introducing the notion of an
INFORM, which is nothing more than an acknowledged TRAP.
