A network administrator needs to configure secure remote management access to a Cisco switch. Which protocol should be used to encrypt management traffic and provide secure authentication?
Console
HTTP
Telnet
SSH
Secure Shell (SSH) encrypts management traffic between the client and the device, providing secure authentication and confidentiality. SSH protects against eavesdropping and man-in-the-middle attacks, making it suitable for secure remote management. Telnet transmits data in plaintext without encryption, so it is insecure for this purpose. HTTP is used for web-based management but lacks encryption, whereas HTTPS would be secure. Console access requires a physical connection and does not provide remote management capabilities over the network.
