300-410 Practice Question: Runs the following command to troubleshoot SNMP…
A network engineer runs the following command to troubleshoot SNMP trap generation:
R1# show snmp mib
sysDescr.0 = Cisco IOS Software, C1900 Software (C1900-UNIVERSALK9-M), Version 15.7(3)M sysObjectID.0 = .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.1 sysUpTime.0 = 123456789 sysContact.0 = admin@example.com sysName.0 = R1 sysLocation.0 = Lab
What does this output indicate?
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the misconception that SNMP trap generation requires sysContact or sysLocation to be configured, but in reality, only sysName and sysObjectID are critical for trap identification, and the output here shows all values are correctly set.
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's system MIB is populated with correct values, including contact and location.
The output of 'show snmp mib' displays the system MIB (RFC 1213) values currently populated on the router. The presence of sysContact, sysName, and sysLocation with valid data indicates that the SNMP agent is running and these mandatory MIB-II objects are correctly configured. This confirms the router's system MIB is properly populated, which is a prerequisite for SNMP trap generation to function correctly.
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's system MIB is populated with correct values, including contact and location.
Why this is correct
All system MIB objects have values, indicating proper configuration.
- ✗
The router's sysContact is not configured, causing SNMP traps to fail.
Why it's wrong here
sysContact is configured as 'admin@example.com'.
- ✗
The router is not responding to SNMP queries.
Why it's wrong here
The output shows the MIB values, so the router is responding.
- ✗
The router uses SNMPv3 only.
Why it's wrong here
The output does not indicate SNMP version.
