A network administrator is configuring SNMP to enhance the security of network monitoring. They need to ensure that the SNMP version they choose supports strong authentication and encryption. Which version of SNMP should they implement?
SNMPv3 is the correct choice because it provides enhanced security features including authentication, encryption, and access control, which are not supported by earlier versions like SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c. SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c do not include mechanisms for securing SNMP traffic, making them less suitable for environments where security is a concern.
