A network operations team wants to collect SNMP data from a BIG-IP device to build a traffic graph. Which two pieces of information are required to configure the SNMP polling?

The MIB file and the trap destination.

The device hostname and the SNMP version.

The community string and the OID to poll.

The polling interval and the graph title.

A network administrator is explaining SNMP to a junior colleague. The junior asks why the BIG-IP exposes statistics via MIBs and OIDs instead of just using a proprietary API. What is the primary reason for using SNMP?

SNMP is faster than a proprietary API for collecting large amounts of data.

SNMP is more secure than a proprietary API.

SNMP is a standardized protocol that allows any SNMP-compatible monitoring system to collect data from the BIG-IP.

SNMP provides a graphical interface for viewing traffic graphs.

An administrator wants to graph the total number of connections that have been established to a virtual server since the BIG-IP was last rebooted. Which SNMP OID should be polled?

ltmVirtualServStatClientBytesIn

ltmVirtualServStatClientTotConns

ltmVirtualServStatClientCurConns

An administrator notices that the SNMP graph for 'ltmVirtualServStatClientBytesIn' shows a steady increase, but the graph for 'ltmVirtualServStatClientBytesOut' is flat. The pool graphs show a corresponding increase in 'ltmPoolStatBytesOut'. What is the most likely explanation?

Clients are downloading data from the pool members.

The BIG-IP is caching responses.

The pool members are sending health checks to the BIG-IP.

Clients are uploading data to the pool members.
