Implementing and Operating Cisco Collaboration Core Technologies (CLCOR) — Question 44
Which transport protocol does the application layer protocol SNMP use?
Answer options
- A. XML
- B. UDP
- C. SIP
- D. HTTP
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is B, UDP, because SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is designed to operate over UDP, which allows for faster message delivery without the overhead of connection establishment. The other options, XML, SIP, and HTTP, do not serve as transport protocols for SNMP; XML is a markup language, SIP is a signaling protocol for multimedia communication, and HTTP is a protocol for transferring web content.
