CCDE: Cisco Certified Design Expert (Practical) — Question 228

A healthcare customer requested that SNMP traps must be sent over the MPLS Layer 3 VPN service. Which protocol must be enabled?

Answer options

• A. syslog
• B. SNMPv3
• C. SNMPv2
• D. syslog TLS
• E. SSH

Correct answer: B

Explanation

SNMPv3 provides enhanced security features such as authentication and encryption, which are essential for healthcare data compliance. While SNMPv2 does provide trap support, it lacks the security enhancements that SNMPv3 offers, making it unsuitable for sensitive environments like healthcare.
