Exam 200-301 topic 1 question 608 discussion

"..device monitoring....highest security" Netflow although related to security generally is just a data collection protocol whereas the whole point of SNMPv3 is that it's hardened answer here should be D

Netflow is of course a tremendous security tool. However, at the CCNA level SNMP is used for monitoring. SNMPv3 is the most secured of all.

D is correct

D. SNMPv3 SNMPv3 (Simple Network Management Protocol version 3) is the technology that should be implemented to configure network device monitoring with the highest security. SNMPv3 provides authentication, encryption, and access control, making it the most secure version of SNMP. It allows for secure and encrypted communication between network devices and network management systems, ensuring the confidentiality and integrity of the monitoring data.

From chatGPT : SNMPv3 (Simple Network Management Protocol version 3) is primarily used for network device management and monitoring. It provides authentication, authorization, and encryption mechanisms to secure SNMP messages. SNMPv3 authentication is based on a shared secret key or digital certificates, while encryption is provided by the use of the Data Encryption Standard (DES), Triple Data Encryption Standard (3DES), or Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). NetFlow, on the other hand, is a protocol used for network traffic analysis and monitoring. It captures and exports flow data, which includes information about the source and destination IP addresses, ports, protocols, and other metadata. NetFlow doesn't provide authentication or encryption mechanisms on its own, but it can be used in conjunction with other security technologies like VPNs and firewalls to enhance network security.

Guys, it's asking about technology not protocol, I would go with C.

Make sense

SNMPv3 is for device monitoring, Netflow is a flow traffic monitor not a device monitor, your switch's RAM could be at 95% and you wont know that with netflow,

D SNMPV3

I picked D

SNMPv3 so D is correct

C is not correct

snmpv3

Most secure is the key here SNMPv3 is the most secure, so D.

Protocol Vs Technology?

AGREE WITH SNMPv3

It says "device monitoring". So the answers is D
