Which feature supported by SNMPv3 provides an advantage over SNMPv2c?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

Encryption is a feature supported by SNMPv3 that provides an advantage over SNMPv2c. Encryption protects the confidentiality and integrity of SNMP messages by encrypting them with a secret key. SNMPv2c does not support encryption and relies on community strings for authentication and authorization, which are transmitted in clear text and can be easily intercepted or spoofed. Transport mapping, community strings, and GetBulk are features that are common to both SNMPv2c and SNMPv3.

Encryption, that's the key difference! SNMPv3 provides data encryption, which protects the SNMP traffic from snooping. Much more secure than the old community string approach.
