Use Telnet over the internet to manage the remote devices.

Use an NMS with SNMP to manage the remote devices.

Which physical connection is typically required to access a network device's console port from a laptop?

Rollover cable with a serial adapter

A junior administrator is asked to remotely manage a Linux-based network appliance. The administrator has a Windows laptop and needs a secure command-line interface. Which tool should be used?

Use a terminal emulator to connect to the console port

Telnet from the laptop to the appliance

RDP from the laptop to the appliance

SSH client (e.g., PuTTY) from the laptop to the appliance

A network switch has lost its IP configuration and cannot be reached remotely. An administrator is at the switch location with a laptop. What is the correct physical setup to access the switch's CLI?

Connect an Ethernet cable from the laptop to any switch port and use SSH

Use a straight-through cable from the laptop to the console port

Connect the laptop's serial port to the switch's console port using a rollover cable and use a terminal emulator

Connect a USB cable from the laptop to the switch's Ethernet port

An organization wants to automatically detect when a switch port goes down and send an alert to the IT team. The switches support SNMP. What should be configured?

Configure the switches to send SNMP traps to an NMS that generates alerts

Use a Python script that continuously pings each switch port

Have an administrator periodically SSH to each switch and check interface status

Use Telnet to monitor the switch's syslog output
