HPE Aruba Certified Central Associate (ACCA) — Question 40

You would like to monitor your CX switches from your existing Network Management System using SNMP and ensure the data is encrypted.
Which version should you enable on the switches?

Answer options

• A. SNMP v3
• B. SNMP v2
• C. SNMP v2c
• D. SNMP v4

Correct answer: A

Explanation

SNMP v3 is the correct choice as it provides enhanced security features, including data encryption for secure communication. SNMP v2 and SNMP v2c do not support encryption, making them unsuitable for secure monitoring. SNMP v4 does not exist as a standard version of SNMP, further confirming that SNMP v3 is the only option that meets the requirement for encrypted data monitoring.
