CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 232

A network administrator gets a call regarding intermittent network outages across the country. Which of the following should be used to connect to the network so the administrator can troubleshoot this issue from home? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. FTP
• B. SMTP
• C. VPN
• D. SSH
• E. SNMP

Correct answer: C, D

Explanation

The correct answers are C (VPN) and D (SSH). A VPN provides a secure connection to the network, allowing the administrator to access resources remotely, while SSH allows for secure command-line access to devices on the network. The other options, such as FTP, SMTP, and SNMP, do not provide the necessary secure remote access for troubleshooting purposes.
