1. What is an embedded TMN agent?
a. an application that runs on a network element that provides one or more management systems the ability to manage the network element
b. an application that uses a manager to manipulate real resources in an embedded environment
c. an application that a manager application uses to access its managed resources on a network in a UNIX mediation device
d. an application that creates a management information base (MIB)

2. Where in the TMN pyramid does an embedded TMN agent lie?
a. network management layer
b. element management layer
c. network element layer
d. service management layer

3. An object is defined as which of the following?
a. a variable
b. a software package that contains a collection of related methods and variables
c. an instance of a particular class, where the method of the object is specified by its class and the value of the object is defined by its instance
d. both b and c

4. A containment tree is different from a MIB because of which of the following?
a. MIB is bigger.
b. There is no difference—they are essentially the same.
c. The MIB represents managed objects possible on a network, while a containment tree holds the real resources on the network.
