Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH v11) — Question 44

Garry is a network administrator in an organization. He uses SNMP to manage networked devices from a remote location. To manage nodes in the network, he uses MIB, which contains formal descriptions of all network objects managed by SNMP. He accesses the contents of MIB by using a web browser either by entering the IP address and Lseries.mib or by entering the DNS library name and Lseries.mib. He is currently retrieving information from an MIB that contains object types for workstations and server services.
Which of the following types of MIB is accessed by Garry in the above scenario?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, LNMIB2.MIB, as it is specifically designed to manage object types relevant to workstations and server services in the context of SNMP. Options B and D are focused on DHCP and WINS services respectively, which do not pertain to the general management of workstations and servers, while C, MIB_II.MIB, is a standard MIB but does not specifically relate to the context mentioned.
