snmp

I don't see SNMP listed any where in the exam blue print, however it is covered on the older exam materials I am using.

Does anyone recall if it is necessary for the new version of this exam?

Which exam?

Remember is can be stuffed under all sorts of topics like admin, reporting, logging, management, troubleshooting, etc

And Version 3 can make it a generic "Security" topic

Ya good point....

Studying for the IPS test right now...

Just trying to figure out how deep I should go. I know I need to leave no stone un turned, but I didn't see SNMP stated on the blue print.

I will go over the stuff, but I am not going to get to crazy about it (SNMP for this test).

Thanks!

I just took a peek at the 642-532 blueprint.... and the snmp tasks listed weren't all that complex or complicated.

Then I noticed the size of the task lists in the 532 version vs the updated 533 exam -- someone did get carried away on specifying tasks for the older version of the exam.

If you can spell snmp and configure the sensor to support snmp, you probably know enough

hahahhaaa


You crack me up!!!!

I can certainly configure the device to use snmp, and I have done plenty of non cisco SNMP work so I feel pretty good about this.

I think there are much bigger fish to fry.

Thanks!!!
