300-410 Practice Question: Runs the following command on Router R1: R1# show…
A network engineer runs the following command on Router R1:
R1# show snmp mib
MIB: IF-MIB MIB: SNMPv2-MIB MIB: IP-MIB MIB: CISCO-CONFIG-MAN-MIB MIB: ENTITY-MIB
Based on this output, which statement is correct?
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the misconception that 'show snmp mib' lists only Cisco proprietary MIBs, but the output includes standard MIBs like IF-MIB and SNMPv2-MIB, so candidates must recognize that both standard and proprietary MIBs can be supported.
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
✓
The router supports monitoring of configuration changes via SNMP.
The output of 'show snmp mib' lists the MIBs that the router supports. The presence of CISCO-CONFIG-MAN-MIB indicates that the router supports the Cisco Configuration Management MIB, which allows SNMP to monitor and manage configuration changes, such as when a configuration is saved or modified. Therefore, option A is 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.
- ✓
The router supports monitoring of configuration changes via SNMP.
Why this is correct
CISCO-CONFIG-MAN-MIB provides objects to monitor configuration changes.
- ✗
The router does not support the IF-MIB.
Why it's wrong here
IF-MIB is listed, so it is supported.
- ✗
The router only supports Cisco proprietary MIBs.
Why it's wrong here
Standard MIBs like IF-MIB, SNMPv2-MIB, and IP-MIB are also supported.
- ✗
The ENTITY-MIB is used for entity authentication.
Why it's wrong here
ENTITY-MIB provides information about physical entities (chassis, modules), not authentication.
