4. _______________ is an application program that contacts an _________________ which is

software that runs on a piece of network equipment and that maintains information about its
configuration and current state in a ________________ (database), to query or modify the
information within that database. This communication will be done using
__________________.
__________________ executes network management applications (NMAs) that monitor and
control network elements.

NMS, SNMP Manager, SNMP agent, SNMP Protocol, MIB, SNMP Resolver

Answer:
SNMP Manager is an application program that contacts an SNMP Agent which is software that
runs on a piece of network equipment and that maintains information about its configuration and
current state in a MIB(database), to query or modify the information within that database. This
communication will be done using SNMP Protocol.
NMS executes network management applications (NMAs) that monitor and control network
elements.
5. Imagine a scenario where an SNMP manager needs to retrieve a large volume of
data from a remote SNMP agent efficiently. Which SNMP PDU type would be most
suitable for this purpose, considering it allows for the retrieval of multiple objects in
a single request?
a) GetRequest PDU
b) GetAllRequest PDU
c) GetNextRequest PDU
d) GetBulkRequest PDU

Answer: d

6. A network administrator wants to configure a new SNMP-enabled switch remotely

using an SNMP manager. Which SNMP PDU type would the manager typically use to
send the desired configuration settings to the switch?
a) GetRequest PDU
b) SetRequest PDU
c) GetNextRequest PDU
d) Trap PDU

Answer: b

7. Consider a scenario where an SNMP manager needs to walk through the Management
Information Base (MIB) to retrieve successive objects for monitoring purposes. Which
SNMP PDU type facilitates this iterative process by retrieving the next set of objects in the
MIB tree?

a) GetRequest PDU
b) SetRequest PDU
c) GetNextRequest PDU
d) GetBulkRequest PDU

Answer: c

8. SNMP operates on which layer of the OSI model?

a) Application Layer
b) Transport Layer
c) Network Layer
d) Data Link Layer

Answer: a
9. Which SNMP version introduced the GetBulkRequest PDU?
a) SNMPv1
b) SNMPv2c
c) SNMPv2
d) SNMPv3

answer: c

Which SNMP version introduced security features such as authentication and

encryption?
a) SNMPv1
b) SNMPv2c
c) SNMPv2
d) SNMPv3

answer: d

The situation pertains to a project module where one student was absent for the final
evaluations, which consisted of three assessments. Upon the release of provisional
results, it was discovered that there was a mistake in marking, where the marks of the
absent student were erroneously swapped with those of a present student. This
discrepancy was brought to attention by other group members, leading to necessary
corrections being made.

It's worth noting that the absent student failed to provide a proper justification for their
absence during the evaluations and also didn't avail themselves during the extended
time provided for representation, as previously communicated.
