300-410 Practice Question: Runs the following command to troubleshoot SNMP…
A network engineer runs the following command to troubleshoot SNMP traps:
R1# show snmp host
Host: 10.1.1.2 Port: 162 Timeout: 30 Retries: 3 Community: trap-public Version: 2c Filter: none
Host: 10.1.1.3 Port: 162 Timeout: 30 Retries: 3 Community: trap-public Version: 2c Filter: none
What does this output indicate?
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the distinction between 'show snmp host' (shows trap destinations) and 'snmp-server host' (configures trap destinations), leading candidates to mistakenly think the output shows incoming traps or only a single host.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
SNMP traps are sent to two NMS hosts: 10.1.1.2 and 10.1.1.3 using SNMPv2c.
The output of the 'show snmp host' command lists the configured SNMP trap receivers. Each entry shows a host IP address (10.1.1.2 and 10.1.1.3), port 162 (the standard SNMP trap port), and the SNMP version (2c). This confirms that the router is sending SNMPv2c traps to both NMS hosts, making option A correct.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
SNMP traps are sent to two NMS hosts: 10.1.1.2 and 10.1.1.3 using SNMPv2c.
Why this is correct
The output shows two hosts configured for trap reception with SNMPv2c.
- ✗
SNMP traps are sent to host 10.1.1.2 only.
Why it's wrong here
Both hosts are listed, so traps go to both.
- ✗
The router is configured to receive traps from these hosts.
Why it's wrong here
The command shows where the router sends traps, not where it receives them.
- ✗
SNMPv3 is used for trap communication.
Why it's wrong here
The version is 2c, not v3.
