   An admin has configured email, SNMP, and syslog alerting on an E-Series system. After sending a test alert, the admin verifies that email and syslog are working, but the SNMP trap is not received. The SNMP trap destination is correct, and the community string is correct. The admin checks the management station and confirms it is listening on UDP 162. What should the admin check next?

   • AReconfigure the SNMP trap destination using the management station's hostname instead of IP address.
   • BChange the SNMP version to v1 to improve compatibility with the management station.
   • CDisable email and syslog alerting to free up resources for SNMP traps.
   • DVerify that the E-Series system can reach the management station on UDP 162 (e.g., check firewall rules).

   A large enterprise runs an E-Series system for its ERP application. The IT operations team uses three different monitoring tools: one for email alerts, one for SNMP traps, and one for syslog. The admin needs to configure alerting so that all three tools receive notifications. However, the syslog server is on a different subnet and requires TCP, while the SNMP management station uses SNMPv3. What should the admin do?

   • AConfigure only SNMPv3 traps and rely on the management station to forward alerts to the other tools.
   • BConfigure syslog forwarding to the SNMP management station and use it as a proxy for all alerts.
   • CConfigure email alerts and syslog forwarding, but skip SNMP traps because SNMPv3 is too complex to set up.
   • DConfigure email alerts, SNMPv3 traps with USM credentials, and syslog forwarding with TCP to the respective destinations.
