  • Bsnmp-server host tests.cisco.com public
  • Csnmp-server enable traps bgp
  • Dsnmp-server enable traps snmp

Why each option

The question asks how to configure SNMP servers to acknowledge notifications, but the correct option enables sending BGP-specific SNMP traps, which are inherently unacknowledged.

Asnmp-server community ciscotest rw 10

This command configures an SNMP community string and an access list for security, not for enabling specific notification types or acknowledging them.

Bsnmp-server host tests.cisco.com public

This command configures an SNMP host to receive traps or informs, but it does not specify the type of notification (trap vs. inform) or enable specific trap categories. By default, it sends unacknowledged traps.

Csnmp-server enable traps bgpCorrect

This command enables the device to send SNMP traps related to BGP events, such as neighbor state changes or path updates. While SNMP traps themselves are unacknowledged, enabling specific trap types like BGP ensures that notifications about routing issues, which can be part of 'intermittent network issues,' are generated and sent to the configured SNMP server.

Dsnmp-server enable traps snmp

This command enables general SNMP-specific traps like link status or authentication failures, but the correct answer specifically refers to BGP traps.
