CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 292

Which of the following protocols can be used to change device configurations via encrypted and authenticated sessions? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. SNMPv3
• B. SSH
• C. Telnet
• D. IPSec
• E. ESP
• F. Syslog

Correct answer: A, B

Explanation

SNMPv3 and SSH are the correct answers as they both provide encryption and authentication, ensuring secure configuration changes. Telnet does not offer encryption, making it insecure for such tasks, while IPSec and ESP are protocols for securing IP communications but do not directly facilitate device configuration. Syslog is primarily for logging and does not support configuration changes.
