A network engineer needs to update the firmware of several low-storage network devices in a resource-constrained environment. The devices do not require secure file transfers. Which protocol is the most suitable for performing these updates?
TFTP is most suitable for this scenario because it uses minimal network traffic for file transfers, which is ideal for environments with limited resources and devices with low storage. It provides a straightforward method without the complexity and overhead associated with more robust file transfer protocols, making it suitable for simple tasks like firmware updates where security is not a concern.
