JNCIA-DC: Juniper Networks Certified Associate – Data Center (2022) — Question 18

Which protocol does Mist cloud use to send and receive data to connected access points?

Answer options

• A. PPTP
• B. SSH
• C. MQTT
• D. HTTPS

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, HTTPS, as it provides a secure communication channel over the internet, which is essential for the Mist cloud's operations. PPTP and SSH are not primarily used for this purpose; PPTP is more focused on VPN connections, while SSH is used for secure shell access. MQTT is a lightweight messaging protocol, but it does not serve the same role as HTTPS in the context of secure web communication.
