Questions:
1. What are the differences among SNMPv1, SNMPv2, and SNMPv3?
2. Because SNMP uses two different port numbers (UDP ports 161 and 162), a single system can easily run both a manager and an agent. What would happen if the same port number were used for both?
3. One of the first steps in configuring a device to be managed is to give it an IP address. Why?
4. Many network administrators use the ping program as a primary management tool.
a. Why would you ping a network device?
b. Why would you ping yourself?
5. We have seen that SNMP uses UDP as its transport protocol. Why was UDP chosen over TCP?
6. What is the disadvantage of having the network management system operate at the application layer?
7. Research the "NetFlow" network management protocol and comparison between NetFlow and SNMP listing the advantages and disadvantages of using one over the other. Also, provide a listing of some commercial tools that implement NetFlow as a component.
