4 thoughts on “What would you configure on SNMPv3 to allow authentication?”
SNMPv3 provides the following configuration possibilities. (Note: availability depends on export restrictions.)
No authentication and no privacy (noAuthNoPriv) – usually for monitoring
Authentication and no privacy (authNoPriv) – usually for control
Authentication and privacy (authPriv) – usually for downloading secrets

the answer is B. Check this site for reference and explanation http://www.snmp.com/snmpv3/snmpv3_intro.shtml

A and B should be both correct.
Since it is asking “What I would configure?”, then my answer would be A, since I would enable encryption as well 🙂
