What are two reasons to use HTTPS as the transport method for AutoSupport delivery for Active IQ? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Only HTTPS transfers are compressed.
• B. AutoSupport OnDemand (AOD) is supported.
• C. HTTPS is encrypted.
• D. HTTPS does not use a standard port.

Correct answer: B, C

Explanation

Using HTTPS provides encryption which secures the data being transmitted, making it less vulnerable to interception. Additionally, AutoSupport OnDemand (AOD) functionality is supported when using HTTPS, enhancing the overall effectiveness of AutoSupport delivery. The other options are incorrect as they either misrepresent the capabilities of HTTPS or state facts that do not contribute to its benefits in this context.
