you are tasked with securing snmp traffic in your companys network. you know that the original versions of snmp are unencrypted. what should you do to secure snmp traffic effectively? disable snmp entirely to avoid security risks. continue using the original versions of snmp as they are widely supported. configure snmpv3, which supports encryption, or use an encapsulation protocol like ipsec. limit snmp traffic to internal networks only.
Answer
# Brief Explanations:
SNMPv3 has encryption features to secure traffic. Disabling SNMP entirely may not be practical as it has management - related uses. Using original unencrypted versions is insecure. Limiting to internal networks doesn't fully secure the traffic. Encryption - enabled SNMPv3 or encapsulation protocols like IPSec are better for security.
# Answer:
Configure SNMPv3, which supports encryption, or use an encapsulation protocol like IPSec.
