What is a secure configuration option for remote access to a network device?

  • Configure an ACL and apply it to the VTY lines.
  • Configure 802.1x.
  • Configure SSH.
  • Configure Telnet.

Explanation: Secure Shell (SSH) is a secure protocol that provides an encrypted management connection to a remote device by using strong encryption for both the authentication process and the data transmitted between devices, making it the secure replacement for Telnet which transmits information in insecure plaintext.
