HCIA Storage Practice Exam

Which protocol is not typically used to securely access a storage device's management interface?

HTTP HTTPS FTP SSH

Correct Answer:

FTP

Explanation:

Access to a storage device’s management interface should be protected with encrypted channels so credentials and configuration data aren’t exposed. Secure management uses SSH for CLI access and HTTPS for web interfaces. FTP, on the other hand, is designed for file transfers and sends data and logins in clear text by default, which makes it insecure for administering a device. Because of this lack of encryption, FTP is not typically used for secure management access.
