Arista Certified Engineer – Associate (ACE-A) — Question 11

On what protocol is Multi-Switch CLI based?

Answer options

• A. TELNET
• B. SCP
• C. SSH
• D. XMPP

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is SSH because Multi-Switch CLI relies on it for secure communication. TELNET is not secure and is generally not recommended for modern IT environments. SCP is a protocol for file transfer, while XMPP is a messaging protocol, making them unsuitable for this specific function.
