200-301 Exam - Question 539


What protocol allows an engineer to back up 20 network router configurations globally while using the copy function?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: C

FTP, or File Transfer Protocol, is designed to transfer files between systems, making it suitable for backing up network router configurations. Network engineers commonly use commands like 'copy running-config ftp:' to backup configurations to an FTP server. This process aligns precisely with the term 'copy function' mentioned in the question.

The question says "using the copy command". You can't use SNMP using the copy command, you have to use snmpset, whereas you can use "copy ftp", so the correct answer is C.

Can FTP back up network router configurations globally ChatGPT Yes, FTP (File Transfer Protocol) can be used to back up network router configurations globally. Many network administrators use FTP to transfer configuration files to and from network devices, including routers. By configuring an FTP server and the appropriate settings on the router, you can save and retrieve router configurations using FTP, making it a common method for global backup and configuration management.

it´s C FTP is beneficial for such a task because it allows an engineer to COPY CONFIGURATIONS from multiple routers in one go, making the process more efficient and less prone to errors. It provides secure file transfer by data encryption, which ensures no unprecedented visibility or modifications during the transfer process. Therefore, it makes it a reliable choice for backing up router configurations.
