What are two differences between SNMP and model-driven telemetry? (Choose two.)

Question

Options

• ASNMP uses a continuous stream model.
• BSNMP uses a push model.
• CSNMP uses a pull model.
• DModel-driven telemetry uses a pull model.
• EModel-driven telemetry uses a push model.

• A
  2% (1)
• B
  2% (1)
• C
  93% (50)
• D
  4% (2)

Explanation

SNMP operates on a pull model (C), meaning the network management system must actively poll devices at scheduled intervals to collect data. Model-driven telemetry uses a push model (E), where devices proactively stream data to collectors continuously or upon change - without being asked.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A - Continuous streaming is a telemetry characteristic, not SNMP's.
• B - SNMP does not push; the management system initiates every data request.
• D - Telemetry does not pull; devices send data autonomously to the collector.

Memory tip: Think "SNMP = ask, Telemetry = tell." SNMP sits and waits to be asked (pull/poll), while model-driven telemetry proactively tells you what's happening (push/stream). If you remember that telemetry is designed to overcome SNMP's polling overhead, the push vs. pull distinction follows naturally.
