CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 664

A new technician has been tasked with checking the status of a switchport. The technician needs to find the information quickly without the use of command-line utilities. Which of the following remote management methods would help the technician?

Answer options

• A. SSH
• B. VNC
• C. RDP
• D. HTTPS

Correct answer: A

Explanation

SSH (Secure Shell) is a secure protocol that allows remote management of devices and can provide access to switchport information without relying on command-line utilities. VNC, RDP, and HTTPS are less suited for this specific task as they are primarily used for remote desktop access or web-based management, rather than directly querying switchport status.
