- A
BGP traps will be sent to 192.168.1.100 but not to 192.168.1.200.
The first receiver has 'bgp' in its enable traps list, while the second does not.
- B
Both receivers will receive OSPF traps.
Why wrong: Only the second receiver (192.168.1.200) has 'ospf' enabled.
- C
The traps are sent using SNMPv3.
Why wrong: Both receivers use version 2c.
- D
Interface traps are sent to 192.168.1.200.
Why wrong: Interface traps are enabled only for 192.168.1.100.
Question 1,408 of 2,152
Interpreting show snmp trap Output
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
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?
Quick Answer
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.
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.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
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.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
In Cisco IOS, the 'snmp-server enable traps' command can be configured globally or per host using 'snmp-server host' with specific trap types. The output from 'show snmp trap' displays per-host trap enablement, which overrides the global setting for that host. This granular control allows administrators to send different trap types to different NMS servers, reducing unnecessary traffic and focusing alerts on relevant systems.
KKey Concepts to Remember
- Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
- Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
- Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
TExam Day Tips
- Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
- Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
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.
Visual reference
Quick reference
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.
