The network policy requires both message authentication and encryption for SNMP. Which SNMP configuration meets this requirement?

SNMPv3 with authentication and privacy (authPriv) is the correct choice because it provides both message authentication (to verify the sender and ensure message integrity) and encryption (to protect the confidentiality of the data in transit). SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c only offer community strings for basic authentication, which are sent in clear text and provide no encryption or strong authentication, making them unsuitable for policies requiring both. SNMPv3 with authentication but no privacy (authNoPriv) provides message authentication but lacks encryption, meaning the data itself is still vulnerable to eavesdropping.
