A company is deploying network devices in a branch office and wants to manage them through a cloud-based dashboard. The devices need to be provisioned automatically and monitored centrally. Which management approach should be used?

HTTPS to each device's web interface

How does cloud-managed device management typically handle device provisioning?

Each device must be manually configured via console before it can connect to the network.

Devices are configured using a local TFTP server only.

Devices require a site-to-site VPN to the cloud for all management traffic.

Devices automatically connect to the cloud platform and download their configuration.

A company is deploying hundreds of wireless access points across multiple branch offices. The IT team is small and wants to manage all devices from a single cloud-based dashboard, including provisioning, monitoring, and configuration changes. Which management approach best meets this requirement?

Use cloud-managed network devices that connect to a cloud platform for centralized management.

Use SSH to each access point from a central management station.

Configure each access point locally via console and manage them individually.

Use a mix of Telnet and HTTP for management to reduce complexity.

How does SSH provide secure communication for network device management?

It encrypts the entire session, including authentication and command data, using cryptographic algorithms.

It only encrypts the password, leaving the rest of the session in plaintext.

It uses symmetric encryption only, with no authentication of the server.

It relies on IPsec to encrypt all traffic between the client and device.
