Which action is needed to configure ReadOnly SNMPv3 on a Cisco UCM cluster?

The correct answer is C. Define an SNMP user with ReadOnly access privilege and apply to all nodes in cluster. To configure ReadOnly SNMPv3 on a Cisco UCM cluster, an SNMP user with ReadOnly access privileges must be defined on the publisher node, which then replicates the configuration to all other cluster nodes.

Why each option

To configure ReadOnly SNMPv3 on a Cisco UCM cluster, an SNMP user with ReadOnly access privileges must be defined on the publisher node, which then replicates the configuration to all other cluster nodes.

ADefine an SNMP user with ReadOnly access privilege on the publisher node only.

While the SNMP user is defined on the publisher, the configuration is then applied to *all* nodes in the cluster, making the statement incomplete without mentioning cluster-wide application.

BDefine an SNMP community string with ReadOnly access privilege on all nodes in the cluster.

Community strings are used for SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c for authentication, whereas SNMPv3 employs a more secure user-based security model with authentication and privacy protocols.

CDefine an SNMP user with ReadOnly access privilege and apply to all nodes in cluster.Correct

SNMPv3 relies on a user-based security model for authentication and authorization, not community strings. In a Cisco UCM cluster, an SNMP user with ReadOnly access privileges must be defined on the publisher node, and this configuration is automatically applied to all subscriber nodes within the cluster to ensure consistent monitoring capabilities.

DDefine an SNMP community string with ReadOnly access privilege on the publisher node only.

Community strings are used for SNMPv1/v2c, not SNMPv3, and even for v1/v2c, a community string defined on the publisher would typically apply to all nodes unless otherwise specified.
