An engineer must configure Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switches for Cisco UCS Director integration. The configuration must enable automated onboarding of the switches as they come online. For security purposes, the switches must have the bare minimum of connection methods enabled. The connection protocol must allow authentication through credentials. Which protocol must be configured on the switches to allow automated onboarding?
The most suitable protocol for enabling automated onboarding of Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switches, allowing authenticated connections, and ensuring security, is SSH. SSH (Secure Shell) provides secure encrypted communication and allows for authentication through credentials, making it ideal for minimizing security risks. Other options like SNMP, Telnet, and HTTPS do not adequately meet all these criteria simultaneously, as SNMP primarily handles network management, Telnet lacks encryption, and HTTPS is generally used for securing web communications rather than switch management.
D is the answer
SSH >> D
d is the one
