CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 340

When using a network monitoring system, a network technician notices that a switch returns many object identifiers that do not have descriptions. Which of the following should be imported into the monitoring system to describe these object identifiers?

Answer options

• A. SNMPv3
• B. SIEM
• C. MIB
• D. SYSLOG

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, MIB, which stands for Management Information Base. MIB files contain the definitions and descriptions of the object identifiers used in SNMP, enabling the monitoring system to interpret them. The other options, such as SNMPv3, SIEM, and SYSLOG, do not provide this specific descriptive capability for object identifiers.
