CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) — Question 106

An administrator is setting up an SNMP server for use in the enterprise network and needs to create device IDs within a MIB. Which of the following describes the function of a MIB?

Answer options

• A. DHCP relay device
• B. Policy enforcement point
• C. Definition file for event translation
• D. Network access controller

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because a Management Information Base (MIB) serves as a definition file that outlines the structure of the network management data. The other options, such as DHCP relay device, policy enforcement point, and network access controller, do not pertain to the specific function of a MIB in SNMP operations.
