CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 147

Joe, a network technician, wants to locally back up several router and switch configurations. He wants to store them on a server that can be accessed easily for recovery without authentication. Which of the following servers should Joe use?

Answer options

• A. Telnet
• B. LDAP
• C. TFTP
• D. Samba

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, TFTP, because it is a simple file transfer protocol that allows for the transfer of files without authentication, making it ideal for backing up configurations. Telnet and LDAP are not designed for file transfer, while Samba, although capable of file sharing, typically requires user authentication.
