In SNMPv3, what is the purpose of the authentication feature?

It encrypts the SNMP messages to protect data confidentiality.

It hides the community string from the network.

It restricts SNMP access to specific IP addresses.

It verifies that the SNMP message came from a valid user and was not modified in transit.

When would an administrator prefer to use SNMP informs instead of traps?

When the agent does not support SNMPv3.

When it is critical that the manager receives the notification.

When the manager wants to poll the agent for data.

When the network has low bandwidth and wants to minimize overhead.

A network engineer is configuring SNMP on a router to send notifications to two different NMS servers. One server is on a reliable LAN, and the other is on a remote site with a flaky WAN link. The engineer wants to ensure that notifications to the remote site are not lost, while minimizing overhead on the LAN. Which configuration is appropriate?

Send informs to the LAN server and traps to the remote server

Send traps to the LAN server and informs to the remote server
