A network engineer is writing a script to poll the CPU utilization of a specific Cisco router using SNMP. The engineer knows the MIB object but needs to reference it in the SNMP GET request. Which identifier must be used in the request?

The community string of the router

The object identifier (OID) assigned to that MIB object

The IP address of the router's management interface

The sysUpTime value from the system group

An NMS must receive immediate notification when a router's interface goes down. The network engineer is deciding between SNMP traps and informs. The WAN link between the router and the NMS is sometimes unreliable, and the engineer wants to ensure that the notification is not lost. Which approach should be used?

Use SNMP SET to change the interface status

Use SNMP GET requests from the NMS to poll the router every 30 seconds

What is the role of a community string in SNMPv1/v2c?

It specifies the transport protocol for SNMP.

It acts as a password that provides a basic level of access control.

It identifies the MIB version used by the agent.
