What are two benefits of using SNMP traps? (Choose two.)

  • They eliminate the need for some periodic polling requests.
  • They reduce the load on network and agent resources.
  • They limit access for management systems only.
  • They can provide statistics on TCP/IP packets that flow through Cisco devices.
  • They can passively listen for exported NetFlow datagrams.

Explanation: SNMP traps are unsolicited messages sent by an agent to the SNMP manager to report an event immediately as it occurs. By notifying the manager only when significant events happen, traps eliminate the need for continuous, periodic polling, which in turn reduces the consumption of network bandwidth and processing resources on both the network and the managed devices (agents).
