I want to say that Telnet is outdated for secure configurations, but I can't remember if HTTPS is the right choice here.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I think the answer is related to SSH, but none of these options seem to fit.

I feel like FTP is definitely not secure, but I can't recall if HTTPS is used for device configuration or just for web traffic.

I've got this! The answer is HTTPS. It's the secure version of HTTP, which is commonly used for web traffic, but HTTPS is the go-to for securely managing network devices.

Okay, let me think this through. HTTPS is definitely the most secure option here, but I should double-check that it's actually used for configuring network devices specifically.

I'm a bit confused on this one. I know FTP and Telnet are older protocols, but I'm not sure which one is considered more secure for configuring network devices.

Hmm, this one seems pretty straightforward. I'm pretty sure the answer is HTTPS since it's a secure protocol.

HTTP? Yeah, if you want the whole world to see your network configuration. HTTPS is the way to go, my dude.
