CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 295

A network technician is performing an initial configuration of a new network switch. Per company policy, the only authorized manner for remotely administering the switch is through a command line. Which of the following protocols should the technician disable to adhere to the company policy?

Answer options

• A. HTTP
• B. Telnet
• C. SSH
• D. TFTP

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, HTTP, as it is a web-based protocol that does not align with the requirement for command line administration. While Telnet (B) is also insecure and should be disabled, the question specifically asks for the one that violates the command line policy, which is HTTP. SSH (C) and TFTP (D) are not relevant to this specific policy requirement.
