SNMP Versions
What does SNMP stand for
Simple Network Messaging Protocol
What is a baseline
a baseline is a report of a network's normal operating states, such as nominal bandwidth or throughput
What is Quality of Service
QoS is when you prioritize certain types of traffic over others
What is the purpose of a Business Continuity Plan
BCPs allow a business to continue operating in the event of a disaster
What is the difference between ARM and x86?
One is RISC, and the other is CISC, resulting in ARM having a simpler, and more efficent, CPU architecture
What does SNMP do even
SNMP is used to send log messages across the network to be collected and monitored for warnings, and also for reconfiguration of devices in some cases
What kinds of info are used to make a baseline
User counts, throughput, utilization, interface stats, and basically anything which gives a picture of the network.
What is the benefit of having QoS enabled for a specific protocol
Increased speed, reduced latency and jitter
This device makes it so that servers and other systems in a business don't lose power instantly in the event of a grid failure
What is an Uninterruptible Power Supply
What is the command used to show all the IPv4 Routes on a Cisco router
show ip route
What was the difference between SNMP3 and SNMP1/2
Better speed, security, support for encryption, authentication, and validation
What can you do with baseline info
You can dynamically scale your network or anticipate rush hours, find single point of failure links, and take action to prevent these things.
you can also use it to dynamically scale QoS services!
This QoS strategy delays packets to be transferred for later
What is buffering?
How many backups should you have for your data when operating a business that's worth it's salt
3 or more.
One is none, 2 is one.
What improvements did SNMP2 bring over SNMP1
Better speed, performance, and somewhat increased security
What software is useful for establishing a network baseline
Any app to test lan speed, or other network heuristics, such as TotuSoft’s LAN Speed Test or TamoSoft’s Throughput Test
What kinds of services benefit from the addition of Quality of Service rules
VoIP, Games, Streaming, Realtime Data Applications
This type of disaster recovery service is provided by a cloud provider for cheap to a company using cloud computing
DRaaS
How many in-band management virtual consoles are there in a Cisco switch
16
What are some methods that could be used to make SNMP more secure
Disable it when it's unnecessary, have devices in read only mode, and have stronger passwords
What should you do to collect baseline heuristics on a WAN
invest in some more comprehensive hardware solution to collect more exact heuristics rather than just user lists or connections
What is the QoS practice used to guarantee good service for a wide number of people by dynamically granting lesser or greater bandwidth based on usage and type of data
Traffic shaping
This type of DR site is constantly updated and imaged from your current network, and is fastest to spin up if a disaster knocks out the main hq
what is a hot site
How many readings are there for this kanji!
