A network administrator frequently uses SSH for secure remote login and file transfers. Which of the following is another primary capability of SSH that the administrator could leverage?
Port forwarding (tunneling)
Website content filtering
Network address translation
Dynamic host configuration
Secure Shell (SSH) is a versatile protocol most known for providing secure remote shell access and file transfers (via SFTP/SCP). However, another one of its powerful capabilities is port forwarding, also known as SSH tunneling. This feature allows for the secure tunneling of TCP ports through an SSH connection, enabling secure access to services that are not directly exposed or to encrypt legacy application traffic. Dynamic host configuration is handled by DHCP, website content filtering is a function of a web proxy or gateway, and network address translation is performed by routers or firewalls.
