Zorluk: KolayNetwork Device Hardening Best Practices

A network administrator is configuring secure access for a newly installed network switch. The administrator needs to ensure that all web-based administrative traffic between the management workstation and the switch is encrypted to protect sensitive credentials from eavesdropping. Which protocol should be enabled on the switch to meet this requirement?

  1. A
    HTTP
  2. HTTPSCevap
  3. C
    Telnet
  4. D
    SNMPv1

Cevap

HTTPS should be enabled on the network switch because it secures web-based administrative sessions using cryptographic encryption.
HTTPS uses Transport Layer Security (TLS) to encrypt all communications between the browser and the switch management interface, preventing unauthenticated network users from viewing or altering management traffic.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the management interface requirement
The scenario requires an encrypted web-based administrative management channel.
Cleartext management protocols expose passwords and switch configurations to unauthorized interception.
2
Evaluate candidate protocols against security baseline controls
HTTPS encrypts web traffic using TLS/SSL, whereas HTTP, Telnet, and SNMPv1 communicate in plaintext or lack administrative web encryption.
Enabling HTTPS hardens the network device management plane by mitigating credential sniffing.
