300-410 · Question #31
Refer to the exhibit. Network operations cannot read or write an configuration on the device with this configuration from the operation subnet. Which two configuration fix the issue? (Choose two.)…
The correct answer is A. Configure SNMP rw permission in addition to community ciscotest. To allow network operations to read and write configuration via SNMP, the SNMP community string must be explicitly configured with read-write (RW) permissions, as the default is read-only.

Why each option
To allow network operations to read and write configuration via SNMP, the SNMP community string must be explicitly configured with read-write (RW) permissions, as the default is read-only.
The command `snmp-server community ciscotest1` configures a read-only community by default. To enable network operations to both read and write configuration on the device using SNMP, the community string needs to be explicitly configured with read-write (RW) permissions, for example, `snmp-server community ciscotest1 RW`.
Modifying an access list might be necessary for granular control over which hosts can access SNMP, but it does not address the fundamental issue of the community string itself lacking read-write permissions.
Simply mentioning 'version 1' does not fix the issue of missing read-write permissions; while SNMPv1 supports RW communities, the specific configuration for 'rw permission' is the key.
This choice is a duplicate of C, and specifying 'version 1' does not inherently fix the lack of read-write permission for the community string.
