An EEM applet contains this command: event snmp oid 1.3.6.1.4.3.8.0.5.8.7.1.3 get-type next entry-op gt entry-val 80 poll-interval 8 What is the result of the command?

The correct answer is D. An SNMP variable is monitored and an action is triggered when the value exceeds 80%.. The EEM applet command monitors a specific SNMP OID and will trigger an action if the retrieved value for that OID exceeds 80.

Question

An EEM applet contains this command: event snmp oid 1.3.6.1.4.3.8.0.5.8.7.1.3 get-type next entry-op gt entry-val 80 poll-interval 8 What is the result of the command?

Options

  • AAn SNMP event is generated when the value equals 80% for eight polling cycles.
  • BAn SNMP event is generated when the value is greater than 80% for eight polling cycles.
  • CAn SNMP event is generated when the value reaches 80%.
  • DAn SNMP variable is monitored and an action is triggered when the value exceeds 80%.

Why each option

The EEM applet command monitors a specific SNMP OID and will trigger an action if the retrieved value for that OID exceeds 80.

AAn SNMP event is generated when the value equals 80% for eight polling cycles.

The `entry-op gt` specifies "greater than", not "equals", and the `poll-interval 8` refers to the polling frequency, not the number of polling cycles for the condition to be met.

BAn SNMP event is generated when the value is greater than 80% for eight polling cycles.

While `gt` means "greater than", the `poll-interval 8` specifies the polling frequency (every 8 units, typically seconds), not that the condition must persist for eight polling cycles before an event is generated.

CAn SNMP event is generated when the value reaches 80%.

The `entry-op gt` specifies "greater than", not "reaches" or "equals" 80.

DAn SNMP variable is monitored and an action is triggered when the value exceeds 80%.Correct

This command defines an EEM event detector that monitors an SNMP OID. An action is triggered when the retrieved value for that OID (specified by `entry-val`) is `gt` (greater than) 80, indicating the value exceeds 80.
