Your company’s network just finished going through a SAS 70 audit. This audit reported that overall, your
network is secure, but there are some areas that needs improvement. The major area was SNMP security.
The audit company recommended turning off SNMP, but that is not an option since you have so many remote
nodes to keep track of. What step could you take to help secure SNMP on your network?
A.
Block all internal MAC address from using SNMP
B.
Block access to UDP port 171
C.
Block access to TCP port 171
D.
Change the default community string names
“SNMP Community string” is like a user id or password that allows access to a router’s or other device’s statistics.
If the community string is correct, the device responds with the requested information. If the community string is incorrect, the device simply ignores the request and does not respond.
