A healthcare customer requested that SNMP traps must be sent over the MPLS Layer 3 VPN service. Which protocol must be enabled?
To send SNMP traps over an MPLS Layer 3 VPN service, either SNMPv2 or SNMPv3 can be utilized. SNMPv2 is a widely used version for sending traps in various environments, including non-secure environments. The question does not specify the need for enhanced security features, making SNMPv2 a valid option.
Question is a bit unclear. It doesn't call for security. So SNMPv2 should also be a valid answer.
While SNMPv2 supports sending traps, it lacks the security features provided by SNMPv3. SNMPv2 does not support encryption, making it less suitable for secure environments such as healthcare.
B: Because its a healthcare customer, security is assumed to be a requirement.
SNMPv2 is actually SNMPv2C so it is not an accurate answer in any case. SNMPv3 on other hand has no such confusion.
