Which role is performed by an SNMP agent?

  • A It sends information about MIB variables in response to requests from the NMS
  • B It manages routing between Layer 3 devices in a network
  • C It coordinates user authentication between a network device and a TACACS+ or RADIUS server
  • D It requests information from remote network nodes about catastrophic system events
Explanation

An SNMP agent is software on a managed network device that collects and exposes management data defined in the Management Information Base (MIB). Its primary job is to return the values of MIB objects to an SNMP manager or Network Management System (NMS) when polled, and it may also send notifications such as traps. That matches the choice describing sending information about MIB variables in response to NMS requests.
