The switch is powered on and has completed its boot process.

The switch has a management IP address assigned via DHCP.

The laptop has a web browser installed for accessing the switch's web interface.

The switch is connected to the corporate network via an uplink cable.

A network engineer is deploying a Dell switch in a remote branch office. The engineer is at the central office and cannot physically access the switch. The switch is new and has no configuration. The engineer has remote hands support at the branch who can connect a console cable and power on the switch. What is the MOST practical way for the engineer to perform the initial configuration?

Have the remote hands connect the console cable to a laptop and use a remote desktop tool to access the laptop, then configure the switch via console.

Ask the remote hands to connect the switch to the network and use SSH to configure it.

Ask the remote hands to use the switch's web interface to configure it.

Ship a pre-configured switch to the branch and have the remote hands install it.

What is the standard method to access the CLI of a switch that has never been configured?

Connect a console cable from the switch's console port to a PC's serial or USB port and open a terminal emulator

Use SSH to connect to the switch's default management IP address

Telnet to the switch's broadcast address

Connect an Ethernet cable to any port and use a web browser

What is the main security disadvantage of using Telnet for remote switch management?

It only works on the same subnet as the switch

It requires a separate authentication server

It transmits data, including passwords, in plaintext

It consumes excessive bandwidth
