Supporting Cisco Routing and Switching Network Devices (RSTECH) — Question 10

Which protocol does TFTP typically use for transport?

Answer options

• A. RSVP
• B. TCP
• C. HTTP
• D. UDP

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, UDP, because Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) is designed to be lightweight and uses UDP for its transport layer to facilitate faster and simpler file transfers. The other options, such as TCP and HTTP, are not used by TFTP, as TCP is connection-oriented and HTTP is a protocol for web services, which do not align with TFTP's design goals.
