The answer is that BGP traps will be sent to 192.168.1.100 but not to 192.168.1.200. This is correct because the show snmp trap output explicitly lists which trap types are enabled per receiver; the first receiver has “bgp” listed under its enable traps, while the second receiver does not, meaning only the first will forward BGP notifications. On the Cisco CCNP ENARSI 300-410 exam, interpreting show snmp trap output tests your ability to verify granular trap receiver configurations, a common task when troubleshooting SNMP monitoring for routing protocols like OSPF and BGP. A frequent pitfall is assuming all traps go to all receivers, but the output proves each receiver can have a unique set of enabled traps. Remember the memory tip: “Each receiver gets its own recipe”—check the enable traps line per IP, not the global trap status.
300-410 SNMP Troubleshooting Practice Question
This 300-410 practice question tests your understanding of snmp troubleshooting. Examine the command output carefully: the correct answer depends on what the output actually shows, not on general recall alone. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
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
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 two trap receivers with different enabled traps. The first receiver is configured to receive snmp, interface, and bgp traps. The second receiver is configured for snmp and ospf traps. Both use SNMPv2c with community strings.
Key principle: OSPF neighbour adjacency depends on matching area, hello/dead timers, network type, and authentication — IP reachability alone is not enough.
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.
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.
Common exam traps
Common exam trap: OSPF can fail even when IP connectivity looks correct
OSPF neighbour formation depends on matching areas, timers, network type, authentication and passive-interface behaviour. Do not choose an answer only because the devices can ping.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
OSPF questions usually test the details that control adjacency and route selection. Read the neighbour state, area, router ID and interface configuration before deciding what is wrong.
KKey Concepts to Remember
OSPF neighbours must agree on key parameters.
Router ID selection can affect neighbour relationships and LSDB output.
OSPF cost influences the preferred path.
A route can appear in OSPF information but not become the installed route.
TExam Day Tips
→Check area mismatch first when OSPF adjacency fails.
→Review passive interfaces when a network is advertised but no neighbour forms.
→Use show ip ospf neighbor and show ip route clues carefully.
Key takeaway
OSPF neighbour adjacency depends on matching area, hello/dead timers, network type, and authentication — IP reachability alone is not enough.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A network engineer at a university connects two campus buildings via a fibre link. Both routers run OSPF, but no adjacency forms — even though both routers can ping each other. The engineer finds one router is in area 0 and the other in area 1. OSPF adjacency requires matching area numbers, hello/dead timers, and network type. IP reachability alone is not enough.
