SNMP
What does SNMP stand for?
Simple Network Management Protocol
What is a network baseline?
It is the normal state that a network is performing at.
What is QoS?
Assigning some traffic priority over others to avoid congestion.
What is the first step in the 6 step process.
Preparation
Which SNMP version introduced encryption?
SNMP v3
Why is establishing a baseline important?
It is so you can compare against other types of performances and see if the network is doing well or not.
What are some traits used to prioritize traffic?
Protocol, IP address, user group, DiffServ flag in an IP packet, VLAN tag, service or application.
What's the purpose of the Remediation step.
To solve the issue itself.
Describe a key difference between SNMP v1 and v3.
v1 is much less secure, and v3 has better security like encryption.
What kinds of software can baseline?
Many types from free to expensive.
Why is QoS important for VoIP applications?
Having a one-minute delay in voice and video is huge and noticeable.
Describe the Preparation step
To get ready for an incident .
What are the security features of SNMP v3?
authentication, validation, and encryption
What tools can be used to establish a network baseline?
Device availability and performance, interface statistics, utilization, error rate, packet drops, jitter
Explain the difference between traffic shaping and traffic policing.
Shaping is actively manipulating the data; Policing is limiting the data on certain things.
Why is the Review step important?
In order to either better prepare for a similar incident or entirely avoid it.
