Which of the following commands configures an SNMP host to authenticate a user by username and send
clear text notifications, the receipt of which will be acknowledged by the receiver?
A.
Router(config)# snmp-server host 192.168.5.5 informs version 3 noauth public
B.
Router(config)# snmp-server host 192.168.5.5 traps version 3 auth public
C.
Router(config)# snmp-server host 192.168.5.5 informs version 2c public
D.
Router(config)# snmp-server host 192.168.5.5 informs version 3 authpriv public
Explanation:
The command snmp-server host 192.168.5.5 informs version 3 noauth CISCO will configure the host to
authenticate a user by username and send clear text notifications. The receiver will then acknowledge receipt of
the notification. The keyword informs indicates that an inform message type will be used. Unlike a trap, an
inform message is acknowledged by the receiver.
The version 3 keyword indicates that version 3 is in use, which is the ONLY version that supports authentication
and encryption. Finally, the noauth keyword specifies authentication by username only and no encryption.
The command snmp-server host 192.168.5.5 traps version 3 auth public configures the host to send traps
rather than informs.
The command snmp-server host 192.168.5.5 informs version 2c public specifies version 2c, which only support
community string-based authentication.
The command snmp-server host 192.168.5.5 informs version 3 authpriv public specifies the keyword authpriv,
which indicates encryption will be used and authentication based on HMAC-MD5 or HMAC-SHA algorithms.
