Citrix Access Control Administration — Question 120

Scenario: To receive data alerts for failures, a Citrix Administrator is configuring SNMP on the Citrix ADC. The administrator is confident that the manager, alarms, and SNMP traps are configured correctly. The following week, there is a Citrix ADC-related outage and the administrator does NOT receive any alerts.

What could be the reason for this alert failure?

Answer options

• A. The Citrix ADC is configured for SNMP version 1.
• B. The Citrix Web App Firewall is blocking the alerts from going out.
• C. The Citrix ADC only has standard licensing.
• D. The community name was NOT configured in the Citrix ADC SNMP trap destination settings.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because if the community name is not configured in the SNMP trap destination settings, the alerts will not be sent out, even if other settings are correct. Option A is incorrect as SNMP version 1 should still function if configured correctly. Option B is not valid unless specific firewall rules are set to block SNMP traffic. Option C does not affect the sending of SNMP alerts.
