A network admin is configuring a network device to download a small configuration file from a TFTP server. The admin notices that the transfer is fast but there is no guarantee the file arrived intact. Why is this acceptable in this scenario?

TFTP encrypts the file to ensure integrity

TFTP uses TCP to ensure reliable delivery

TFTP automatically retransmits lost packets with a three-way handshake

TFTP uses UDP and relies on the application to verify the file, which is acceptable for small, non-critical files on a reliable LAN

A web developer is testing a new site on a local server. The browser shows a padlock icon and the URL begins with https://. The developer needs to confirm that the data exchanged between the browser and server is encrypted. Which statement accurately describes what HTTPS is doing?

HTTPS uses TLS to encrypt the HTTP messages and authenticate the server

HTTPS replaces HTTP with a new protocol that does not use TCP

HTTPS uses a digital signature on each HTTP request to prevent tampering

HTTPS encrypts only the URL and leaves the body of the request visible

A network admin is troubleshooting a connectivity issue between two routers. The admin runs traceroute and sees that the path stops at a certain hop with asterisks. What does this indicate?

The path is using a different routing protocol

The device at that hop is not responding to ICMP, or the packet is being filtered

The network is using TCP instead of UDP

In which scenario is TFTP most commonly used?

Transferring large files over the internet

Securely transferring sensitive documents

Booting a diskless workstation from a network server

Synchronizing clocks between network devices
