A network engineer is managing a router that is located in a remote data center. The engineer needs to monitor the router's interface statistics and receive alerts when an interface goes down. The engineer also wants to ensure that the monitoring traffic does not interfere with data traffic. Which approach should the engineer use?

Use SNMPv2c with community strings on the data plane

Use SNMPv3 with a dedicated management VRF

Use ICMP echo requests to monitor interface status

Use Telnet to monitor interface statistics

A network administrator is troubleshooting packet loss on a router. The administrator suspects that the router's CPU is overloaded, causing the router to drop packets that need to be processed by the CPU. Which type of traffic is most likely to be affected?

Traffic that is switched in hardware using the CAM table

Traffic that is forwarded based on the FIB in hardware

Transit traffic that is forwarded by hardware ASICs

Traffic destined to the router itself, such as OSPF hello packets

A network engineer is designing a router for a financial institution that requires high availability and security. The router must support OSPF and BGP, and management access must be encrypted. The engineer is concerned about the risk of a control-plane attack. Which combination of features provides the most comprehensive protection?

Control plane policing, SSH for management, and hardware-based forwarding

Disable OSPF and BGP to reduce attack surface

Telnet for management and software-based forwarding

Allow all traffic to the control plane to ensure protocol convergence
