A. B. C. D.A
The correct answer is D. show snmp engineID.
The SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) security model is a set of rules that define how SNMP messages are secured and authenticated. There are three main SNMP security models: SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3. Each model has its own set of security features and methods for authentication and encryption.
To determine the current SNMP security model on a switch, you can use the "show snmp engineID" command. This command displays the SNMP engine ID, which is a unique identifier for the SNMP engine on the switch. The SNMP engine ID also includes information about the security model and the SNMP version that the switch is currently using.
For example, if the output of the "show snmp engineID" command includes the string "SNMPv3 USM," this indicates that the switch is using SNMPv3 with the USM (User-based Security Model) security model.
The other answer options are not correct for determining the SNMP security model:
A. show snmp group: This command displays information about the SNMP groups configured on the switch, but it does not provide information about the security model.
B. show snmp pending: This command displays information about pending SNMP requests on the switch, but it does not provide information about the security model.
C. snmp-server contact: This command sets the SNMP system contact information on the switch, but it does not provide information about the security model.
