What is the recommended if SNMP is used? (Choose two)

A.
Allow only the appropriate management hosts access to the device you wish to manage.

B.
Configure SNMP with write-only community strings.

C.
Configure SNMP with read-only community strings.

D.
Allow only the firewall access to the device you wish to manage.

E.
Allow only the router access to the device you wish to manage.

Explanation:

When the community string is compromised, an attacker could reconfigure the device if read-write access via SNMP is allowed. Therefore, it is recommended that you configure SNMP with only read-only community strings. You can further protect yourself by setting up access control on the device you wish to manage via SNMP to allow only the appropriate management hosts access.
