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 trap SNMP Trap: enabled
Trap receiver: 192.168.1.100 Community: PUBLIC Version: 2c UDP port: 162
Enable traps: snmp, interface, bgp
Trap receiver: 192.168.1.200 Community: PRIVATE Version: 2c UDP port: 162
Enable traps: snmp, ospf
Based on this output, which statement is correct?
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the misconception that all trap receivers receive the same set of traps, but in reality, trap enablement can be configured per receiver, and the 'show snmp trap' output clearly shows which traps are enabled for each 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
✓
BGP traps will be sent to 192.168.1.100 but not to 192.168.1.200.
The output shows that traps are configured per receiver. The first receiver (192.168.1.100) has 'Enable traps: snmp, interface, bgp', while the second receiver (192.168.1.200) has 'Enable traps: snmp, ospf'. Since BGP is not listed for the second receiver, BGP traps will only be sent to 192.168.1.100, 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.
- ✓
BGP traps will be sent to 192.168.1.100 but not to 192.168.1.200.
Why this is correct
The first receiver has 'bgp' in its enable traps list, while the second does not.
- ✗
Both receivers will receive OSPF traps.
Why it's wrong here
Only the second receiver (192.168.1.200) has 'ospf' enabled.
- ✗
The traps are sent using SNMPv3.
Why it's wrong here
Both receivers use version 2c.
- ✗
Interface traps are sent to 192.168.1.200.
Why it's wrong here
Interface traps are enabled only for 192.168.1.100.

Routing Protocol Comparison
| Protocol | Metric | Max Hops | Algorithm | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RIP v2 | Hop count | 15 | Bellman-Ford | Distance vector |
| OSPF | Cost (bandwidth) | Unlimited | Dijkstra (SPF) | Link state |
| EIGRP | Composite metric | Unlimited | DUAL | Hybrid |
| IS-IS | Cost | Unlimited | Dijkstra | Link state |
| BGP | Policy / attributes | Unlimited | Path vector | Path vector |
RIP's 15-hop limit makes it unsuitable for large networks. OSPF and EIGRP dominate modern enterprise deployments.
