A switch is configured with the snmp-server community Cisco RO command running SNMPv2c. An NMS is trying to communicate to this router via SNMP. What can be performed by the NMS? (Choose two.)

Question

Group of answer choices

The NMS can graph obtained results and change the hostname of the router.

The NMS can only graph obtained results.

The NMS can only change the hostname of the router.

The NMS can use GETBULK and return many results.

Answer 1

To understand the capabilities of the NMS (Network Management System) when connected to a router with the command snmp-server community Cisco RO configured for SNMPv2c, it's essential to recognize the implications of this command.

1. The RO in the command indicates "Read Only" access for the SNMP community named "Cisco." This means that the NMS can only retrieve data but cannot make any changes to the router's configuration.

2. Since the configuration is for SNMPv2c, it supports the use of the GETBULK operation, which allows the NMS to retrieve large sets of data efficiently.

Given these points, the correct answer choices would be:

• The NMS can only graph obtained results.
• The NMS can use GETBULK and return many results.

The other options are incorrect because the NMS cannot change the hostname or any other configuration settings on the router due to the read-only nature of the community string.
