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.
You must use this template, failing which will result in zero mark.
You MUST show all your work, and text must not be converted into an image, unless specified otherwise by the question.
Late submission will result in ZERO mark.
The work should be your own, copying from students or other resources will result in ZERO mark.
Use Times New Roman font for all your answers.

Learning Outcome(s):
CLO3
Evaluate different SNMP tools, network statistics tools, and protocol analyzer for network management.
Question One
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]

CLO 2
Analyze security threats, vulnerabilities, and risks.
Question Three
Suppose you are given a task to monitor and track of network status, including routers, switches, and desktops.
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]

Question Four
Part of a network management involves analyzing incoming and outgoing network traffic to identify any potential security threats and performance issues. Therefore, you are requested to download the Wireshark tool on your PC and complete the following tasks:
1.Capture your PC’s network packets. [0.75 marks]
2.Use Wireshark’s filtering to inspect the packets. [0.75 marks]
3.Discuss the benefits of using these tasks. You can also choose to do additional tasks if you wish! Support your work with screenshots, explaining the information shown in each screenshot. [1.5 marks]
