Computer Network Questions and Answers – Network Management Models

This set of Computer Network Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Network Management Models”.

1. OSI Network Management Model comprises of four models, they are ____________
a) organization model, information model, communication model and functional model
b) security model, peer-to-peer model, centralized model, and decentralized model
c) tiered model, hierarchical model, client/server model, logical layered model
d) centralized model, decentralized model, physical model, and hierarchical model
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: OSI network management model is governed by ISO standards. It is superior to most other models. The OSI network Management Model can be classified further into four models such as organization model, information model, communication model and functional model. Whereas tiered model, hierarchical model, client/server model, logical layered model, centralized model, decentralized model, physical model, security model and peer-to-peer model are types of architecture of TNM.

2. The architecture for SNMP standard for network management is defined by _________
a) ITU-T
b) ANSI
c) IETF
d) IEEE
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: IETF stands for Internet Engineering Task Force. It is a set of standards that implicitly defines the architecture for SNMP. SNMP network management is used for campus wide networks.

3. Simple Network Management Protocol is designed for management of Telecommunication networks only.
a) True
b) False
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: SNMP is used for managing Wide Area Networks (WAN) as well as Telecomm systems. Telecomm Management Network (TMN) on the other hand deals with Telecomm service providers only.

4. The fourth component of Network Management, functional model, deals with ___________
a) the user-oriented requirements of network management
b) the structure and organization of management information
c) the components of a network management system
d) the layer operation within the layers.
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: The OSI network Management Model can be classified further into four models such as organization model, information model, communication model and functional model. The functional model deals with user-oriented requirements of Network management. Whereas Information model looks after the structure and organization of management information. The organization model deals with the components of a network management system and its functions. Lastly, the operation of layers in the application layer occurs in the communication model.

5. What is the function of SMI?
a) It deals with the storage of management information
b) It addresses operation and administration of functional model
c) It describes how the management information is structured
d) It provides a complete model for network management
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: The information model of the OSI network management deals with Structured Management Information (SMI) and information database known as Management Information Base (MIB). Here the SMI helps in defining the structure of management information.

6. Applications developed under Web-based management falls under the OSI ______ model.
a) communication
b) information
c) organization
d) functional
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: The OSI network Management Model can be classified further into four models such as organization model, information model, communication model and functional model. Thus, in Web-based management, the applications developed falls under the functional model of OSI network management.

7. Configuration, fault, performance, security, and accounting are the system management functions of SNMP.
a) True
b) False
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Configuration, fault, performance, security and accounting are the four functional areas of OSI network management. SNMP is the standard that manages WAN and telecomm systems.
