Why is it advisable that a network administrator use SSH instead of Telnet when managing switches?

  • SSH uses TCP whereas Telnet does not.
  • SSH encrypts only the username and password when logging in.
  • SSH encrypts all remote management communications whereas Telnet does not.
  • SSH sends a clear text message steam which reduces the bandwidth use for management.
