CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 273

A network administrator needs to access a remote site and log into the site switch using secure methods. The administrator first has to gain access to the server
GUI. Which of the following access control methods will be used?

Answer options

• A. RDP
• B. VPN
• C. Telnet
• D. SSH

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A (RDP), as it is specifically designed for remote desktop access to graphical user interfaces. VPN provides a secure tunnel for network access but does not directly facilitate GUI access. Telnet is not secure and SSH, while secure, is typically used for command-line interfaces rather than GUI access.
