CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1002) — Question 464

A network administrator needs to be able to securely connect to a local router from within the office.
Which of the following protocols should the administrator ensure is enabled on the router?

Answer options

• A. RDP
• B. SSH
• C. TFTP
• D. HTTP

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, SSH, because it provides a secure method for accessing network devices over an unsecured network. RDP is used for remote desktop access, TFTP is not secure for transferring files, and HTTP does not provide encryption, making them unsuitable for secure connections.
