Question

Garry is a network administrator in an organization. He uses SNMP to manage networked devices from a remote location. To manage nodes in the network, he uses MIB. which contains formal descriptions of all network objects managed by SNMP. He accesses the contents of MIB by using a web browser either by entering the IP address and Lseries.mlb or by entering the DNS library name and Lseries.mlb. He is currently retrieving information from an MIB that contains object types for workstations and server services. Which of the following types of MIB is accessed by Garry in the above scenario?

Options

  • ALNMIB2.MIB
  • BWINS.MIB
  • CDHCP.MIS
  • DMIB_II.MIB

Why each option

MIB_II.MIB is the standard SNMP Management Information Base that contains formal object type definitions for network workstations and server services.

ALNMIB2.MIB

LNMIB2.MIB is Microsoft's LAN Manager MIB and is scoped to LAN Manager-specific objects, not the general workstation and server service object types described.

BWINS.MIB

WINS.MIB contains object definitions specific to the Windows Internet Name Service and does not cover general workstation or server service management objects.

CDHCP.MIS

DHCP.MIS relates to Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol management objects, and its file extension (.MIS) is incorrect - standard MIB files use the .MIB extension.

DMIB_II.MIBCorrect

MIB-II, standardized in RFC 1213, is the foundational SNMP MIB that defines managed object types covering a broad range of network devices including workstations and server services. It extends the original MIB-I with additional object groups such as interfaces, TCP, UDP, and system information. Garry is accessing MIB_II.MIB specifically because it holds the formal object definitions needed to manage workstation and server nodes via SNMP.
