When communicating with a switch or router over a network and using the command line, which would be the best protocol to use?
  1. FTP
  2. SSH
  3. Telnet
  4. ICMP
Explanation
Answer: B - SSH is the protocol that should be used.

Key takeaway: Although telnet works for using the command line on routers and switches, it is not secure and everything sent and received is unencrypted. The better choice is SSH, or Secure Shell, which is a secure protocol.
