To send SNMP traps after the service is started, what must you add for them to work?
A.
A management information base
B.
A password
C.
A new user
D.
An IP address
Explanation:
A trap requires an IP address. This IP address is the destination IP address of the management
station which is monitoring that device or system. The SNMP agent isn’t just going to broadcast
the trap, it needs a explicit destination to send it.
Incorrect Answers:
A: SNMP uses a management information base (MIB), but the trap does have to rely on that
database being present.
B: SNMP works on community names. A community name is the 2nd piece of information required
to set up a trap. (The first being the IP address). SNMP does not use userids or passwords, so
these items have no meaning.
C: SNMP works on community names. A community name is the 2nd piece of information required
to set up a trap. (The first being the IP address). SNMP does not use userids or passwords, so
these items have no meaning.
