Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH v13) — Question 74

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 designed to manage both workstations and server services in a network context. The other options, such as DHCP.MIB, focus on specific protocols for dynamic IP address allocation, while WINS.MIB relates to Windows Internet Name Service, and MIB_II.MIB primarily addresses Internet protocol management, making them less suitable for Garry's needs.
