Implementing Cisco IP Routing (CCNP ROUTE, legacy) — Question 358

Which parameter in an SNMPv3 configuration offers authentication and encryption?

Answer options

• A. auth
• B. noauth
• C. priv
• D. secret

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The 'priv' parameter in SNMPv3 is responsible for enabling encryption, ensuring that the data is secure during transmission. 'auth' only provides authentication without encryption, 'noauth' disables authentication entirely, and 'secret' is not a recognized parameter in SNMPv3 configurations.
