Implementing and Operating Cisco Service Provider Network Core Technologies (SPCOR) — Question 119

What is the difference between SNMP and model-driven telemetry?

Answer options

• A. SNMP uses the YANG data modeling language.
• B. Telemetry uses traps and inform messages to deliver data to a network administrator on a polling basis.
• C. Telemetry allows for modeled network data to be pushed to the network administrator on an as-needed basis.
• D. SNMP pushes network data to the network administrator whenever it is queried.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because model-driven telemetry pushes data to the administrator on an as-needed basis, enhancing real-time data access. Option A is incorrect as SNMP does not use YANG; it primarily relies on its own MIBs. Option B mischaracterizes telemetry's operation, while D describes SNMP's querying behavior rather than its push capabilities.
