A network administrator needs to transfer configuration files to network devices quickly and with minimal overhead. Security and authentication are not concerns in this environment. Which protocol is best suited for this task?
TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) is suitable for transferring files quickly with minimal overhead because it is a simple protocol that does not include authentication or encryption. It is commonly used in network environments where security is not a concern, such as transferring configuration files or boot images to devices. FTP (File Transfer Protocol) provides authentication and is more complex, which introduces more overhead. HTTPS and SCP both provide security features and have higher overhead, which are unnecessary in this scenario.
