300-410 Practice Question: Runs the following command on Router R1: R1# show…
A network engineer runs the following command on Router R1:
R1# show snmp group
group name: readonly security model: v3 security level: authNoPriv context: <none> read view: iso write view: <none> notify view: <none>
Group name: admin security model: v3 security level: authPriv context: <none> read view: iso write view: iso notify view: iso
Based on this output, which statement is correct?
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the distinction between security levels and view configurations, where candidates mistakenly assume 'authNoPriv' includes encryption or that a missing notify view still allows traps.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
The 'readonly' group can read all MIB objects because its read view is 'iso'.
The 'readonly' group has a read view set to 'iso', which corresponds to the entire ISO OID tree (1.3.6.1). This means the group can read all MIB objects accessible under that subtree, effectively granting full read access to all standard SNMP MIBs.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
The 'readonly' group can read all MIB objects because its read view is 'iso'.
Why this is correct
The read view 'iso' typically includes the entire MIB tree, allowing read access to all objects.
- ✗
The 'admin' group requires only authentication, not encryption.
Why it's wrong here
The security level 'authPriv' requires both authentication and privacy (encryption).
- ✗
The 'readonly' group can send SNMP traps.
Why it's wrong here
The notify view is <none>, so no traps are sent for this group.
- ✗
Both groups have the same security level.
Why it's wrong here
'readonly' uses authNoPriv, while 'admin' uses authPriv.
