COMMUNICATION AND FUNCTIONAL MODELS
1>The SNMPv1 communication model defines the specifications of____ aspects of SNMP communication
(3/4/5)______
2>The SNMPv1 communication model defines the specifications of following aspects of SNMP communication
a: architecture
b: administrative model
c: SNMP protocol
d: SNMP MIB
Ans:__________ (a/b/c/d/all)
3>__________model defines data access policy (communication/administrative)
4>A manager can belong to multiple communities and thus can manage multiple domains.This is the__________
model (communication/administrative)
5>SNMP entities are grouped into __________module (SNMP SMI/SNMP MIB)
6>___________consists of communication between network management stations and managed network elements
or objects (SNMP protocol/SNMP architecture)
7>___________is used to communicate information between the network management stations and the
management agents in the elements (SNMP MIB/SNMP protocol)
8>Following are goals of the architecture in the original specifications of SNMP
a: it should minimize the number and complexity of the management functions realized by the management agent
b: it should be flexible enough to allow expansion
c: the SNMP architecture should be independent of the architecture and mechanisms of particular hosts and
gateways
Ans:___________ (a/b/c/all)
9>Only non-aggregate objects are communicated using SNMP (true/false)___________
10>___________is used for data transfer in SNMP (ASN.1/BER/both)
11>The SNMP manages the network with ____messages (3/4/5)_______
12>SNMP comprises following basic messages
a: set
b: get
c: trap
Ans:__________ (a/b/c/all)
13>_____&______messages are generated by the manager to retrieve data from network elements using the
associated management agents (get-request/set-request/get-next-request/trap)
14>___________is used to initialize and edit the parameters of the network element (get-request/set-request)
15>___________is the response from the agent to get and set messages from the manager (get-next-request/get-
response-request)
16>The number of unsolicited messages in the form of_________is limited to make the architecture simple and to
minimize the traffic (get-request/set-request/get-next-request/trap)
17>There are__ types of traps (2/3/4)_________
18>Following are different types of traps
a: generic trap
b: specific trap
c: time stamp
Ans:___________ (a/b/c/all)
19>___________type consists of coldStart, warmStart, linkDown,linkUp,authenticationFailure, egpNeighborLoss
and enterpriseSpecific (generic trap/specific trap/time stamp)
20>___________is a specific code and is generated even when an enterpriseSpecific trap is not present (generic
trap/specific trap/time stamp)
21>___________is the time elapsed between the last initialization or reinitialization of the element and the
generation of the trap (generic trap/specific trap/time stamp)
22>In RFC 1157,the entities that reside in the management stations and network elements are called
SNMP___________ entities (protocol/application)
23>The peer processes, which implement the SNMP, and thus support the SNMP application entities are termed
as__________ entities (protocol/MIB)

residing in the element is also referred to as_____ (SNMP agent/SNMP manager)

26>The authentication scheme is a filter module in the manager and in the agent (true/false)___________
27>A network element comprises many managed objects both standard and private (true/false)___________
