• You must submit two separate copies (one Word file and one PDF file) using the Assignment Template on
Blackboard via the allocated folder. These files must not be in compressed format.
• It is your responsibility to check and make sure that you have uploaded both the correct files.
• Zero mark will be given if you try to bypass the SafeAssign (e.g., misspell words, remove spaces between
words, hide characters, use different character sets, convert text into image or languages other than English
or any kind of manipulation).
• Email submission will not be accepted.
• You are advised to make your work clear and well-presented. This includes filling your information on the cover
page.

Project Objective:
This activity is an opportunity for you to practice your knowledge, enhance your skills, and
learn from experience to work on network management in terms of network tools,
configurations, protocols, and troubleshooting.

network
management.
Question One
2 Marks
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) serves as a network management tool
to manage and control various network components such as switches, routers, and
firewalls. SNMP implementers often encounter issues and difficulties when solving
problems related to SNMP network monitoring. Below are some issues SNMP
implementers might face; therefore, you are asked to discus in detail how you will
troubleshoot them:
I.
Error message: “SNMP Is Not Enabled”. [0.5 marks]
II.
A delay in responses to SNMP queries. Such that, a switch in the NMS does not
respond to GetNext requests and generates a RESPONSE_DELAYED error
message. [0.75 marks]
III.
If the response for an SNMP has a noSuchName or noSuchObject error. [0.75
marks]

Suppose you are given a task to monitor and track of network status, including routers,
1. Discuss which tools/protocols/commands you would use. [0.5 marks]
2. Execute the commands on any network that you can have (e.g., your home
router, google servers). Support your work with screenshots, explaining the
information shown in each screenshot. Note, the commands would differ based
on used operating systems, routers, etc. [1.5 marks]
