An NMS is timing out when trying to poll a router via SNMP. Which configuration issue is the most likely cause?

The SNMP user is configured with the wrong authentication protocol.

The SNMP trap receiver is misconfigured.

The SNMP agent is configured with a view that does not include the requested OID.

The SNMP community string is correct but the NMS IP is not permitted by an ACL.

What is the primary security enhancement that SNMPv3 provides over SNMPv2c?

It supports message authentication and encryption.

It requires the use of IPv6 for all management traffic.

It uses community strings that are encrypted with AES.

It uses TCP port 161 instead of UDP to avoid packet loss.

A network architect is designing an SNMP monitoring solution for a service provider. The requirement is to support both SNMPv2c for legacy devices and SNMPv3 for new devices. What is the best approach?

Configure SNMPv2c on legacy devices and SNMPv3 on new devices, with separate community strings and users

Configure SNMPv3 on all devices and disable SNMPv2c

Use SNMPv3 with community strings

Configure SNMPv2c on all devices for simplicity

A service provider uses SNMP traps to monitor link down events. The NMS is not receiving traps, but polling works fine. The engineer has verified that the trap receiver IP is correct and reachable. What is the most likely cause?

The router's SNMP agent is disabled

The SNMP community string is wrong

The trap receiver is not configured on the router
