Refer to the exhibit. A network administrator wants to enhance the security for SNMP for this configuration. Which action can the network administrator implement?
A.
Add a community string to the existing entry.
B.
Maintain the configuration but switch to an encrypted password for device access through SSH.
C.
Re-configure to use SNMPv2 with MD5 authentication.
answer A -
SNMP community strings authenticate access to MIB objects and function as embedded passwords. For the NMS to access the switch, the community string definitions on the NMS must match at least one of the three community string definitions on the network device.
SNMP Configuration
This command configures the community access string cisco to permit read/write access to the SNMP.
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:PE1(config)# snmp-server community cisco RW
The configuration is for IOS not IOS-XR and the 'public' is already the community:
R1(config)#snmp-server host 192.168.1.1 version 2c public
R1(config)#snmp-server host 192.168.1.1 version 2c ?
WORD SNMPv1/v2c community string or SNMPv3 user name
So it has to be D
