CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 308

A technician replaces a failed router with a spare that has been in inventory for some time. After attempting to enable HTTPS on the spare router, the technician discovers the feature is unavailable. The support office was able to connect to the previous router. Which of the following actions should the technician perform to enable HTTPS access for the support team?

Answer options

• A. Reboot the router
• B. Enable HTTP on the router
• C. Update the firmware of the spare router
• D. Perform a factory reset on the router

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Updating the firmware of the spare router is the correct action because older firmware versions may not support HTTPS. Rebooting the router, enabling HTTP, or performing a factory reset will not resolve the underlying issue of missing HTTPS functionality due to outdated firmware.
