Implementing Cisco Network Security (IINS, legacy) — Question 114

You have just deployed SNMPv3 in your environment. Your manager asks you to make sure that your SNMP agents can only talk to the SNMP Manager.
What would you configure on your SNMP agents to satisfy this request?

Answer options

• A. Routing Filter with the SNMP managers in it applied outbound
• B. A standard ACL containing the SNMP managers applied to the SNMP configuration
• C. A SNMP View containing the SNMP managers
• D. A SNMP Group containing the SNMP managers

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

The correct answer is B because implementing a standard ACL allows you to explicitly define which SNMP managers can communicate with the agents, thereby restricting access. Option D is also correct as a SNMP Group can help manage permissions, but it does not restrict access in the same way as a standard ACL. Options A and C do not provide the necessary access control for this scenario.
