Implementing Cisco Enterprise Advanced Routing and Services (ENARSI) — Question 106

An engineer configured SNMP notifications sent to the management server using authentication and encrypting data with DES. An error in the response PDU is received as "UNKNOWNUSERNAME, WRONGDIGEST".
Which action resolves the issue?

Answer options

• A. Configure the correct authentication password using SNMPv3 authNoPriv.
• B. Configure correct authentication and privacy passwords using SNMPv3 authPriv.
• C. Configure correct authentication and privacy passwords using SNMPv3 authNoPriv.
• D. Configure the correct authentication password using SNMPv3 authPriv.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as it specifies the need for both authentication and privacy passwords, which are essential when using SNMPv3 with authPriv. Options A and D only address authentication, neglecting the required privacy password, while option C incorrectly suggests using authNoPriv, which does not provide the necessary encryption.
