300-410 Practice Question: Snmp-server enable traps\nsnmp-server host…

snmp-server enable traps\nsnmp-server host 192.168.1.100 traps version 2c public\nsnmp-server host 192.168.1.200 informs version 2c public

What is the effect of this configuration?

⚠ Common exam trap

Cisco often tests the misconception that informs are only available in SNMPv3, but SNMPv2c also supports informs, and the 'traps' vs 'informs' keywords in the 'snmp-server host' command directly determine the notification type per destination.

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

✓

Traps are sent to 192.168.1.100 and informs are sent to 192.168.1.200.

The configuration explicitly uses the 'traps' keyword for 192.168.1.100 and the 'informs' keyword for 192.168.1.200. In SNMP, the 'snmp-server host' command defines the destination and type of notification; 'traps' are unacknowledged UDP messages, while 'informs' are acknowledged (requiring a response from the receiver). Therefore, traps are sent to 192.168.1.100 and informs to 192.168.1.200, making option A correct.
