Implementing and Operating Cisco Data Center Core Technologies (DCCOR) — Question 444

The Cisco UCS blade chassis must send SNMPv3 traps to a network monitoring system. The SNMP trap messages should be authenticated and have protection from disclosure. Which SNMP security privilege level should be configured?

Answer options

• A. priv
• B. noAuth
• C. auth
• D. noPriv

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The 'priv' level is the correct choice because it provides both authentication and encryption, ensuring message confidentiality and integrity. The 'auth' option only offers authentication without encryption, while 'noAuth' and 'noPriv' do not provide adequate security features needed for sensitive trap messages.
