3. What lower-layer protocol encapsulates SNMP messages? 4. Because SNMP uses two different port numbers (UDP ports 161 and 162), a single system can easily run both a manager and an agent. What would happen if the same port number were used for both? 5. One of the first steps in configuring a device to be managed is to give it an IP address. Why? 6. What is the disadvantage of having the network management system operate at the application layer?
