Question

Group of answer choices

SNMPv2c introduced the INFORM operation.

SNMPv2c offers more security than SNMPv1

SNMPv3 uses TCP and introduced the GETBULK operation.

SNMPv3 provides the best security of the three versions.

Answer 1

The true statements regarding SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) from the options provided are:

1. SNMPv2c introduced the INFORM operation. - This statement is true; SNMPv2c introduced the INFORM operation, which allows for more robust communication between managers and agents compared to the earlier versions.

2. SNMPv3 provides the best security of the three versions. - This statement is also true; SNMPv3 was designed with security in mind, providing features like authentication and encryption that are not available in SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c.

The other options are incorrect:

• SNMPv2c offers more security than SNMPv1. - While SNMPv2c does improve functionality (with features like bulk retrieval and more detailed error handling), it does not provide enhanced security features compared to SNMPv1.

• SNMPv3 uses TCP and introduced the GETBULK operation. - SNMP traditionally uses UDP, not TCP. The GETBULK operation was introduced in SNMPv2c, not in SNMPv3.

Therefore, the correct choices are:

1. SNMPv2c introduced the INFORM operation.
2. SNMPv3 provides the best security of the three versions.
