Question 890
Stonebridge Learning needs to generate credentials used by an IOS SSH server. Which implementation directly addresses that objective without replacing it with a different network control?
Explanation
Correct Answer
SSH server authentication depends on a usable host key rather than only configuring a VTY password. This is the control that implements the specified requirement.
Incorrect Answers
Restricting VTY transport to SSH prevents cleartext Telnet management access. That is not sufficient here: SSH server authentication depends on a usable host key rather than only configuring a VTY password.
Facility indicates message origin while severity indicates importance. That is not sufficient here: SSH server authentication depends on a usable host key rather than only configuring a VTY password.
SNMPv3 authPriv protects management messaging with authenticated and encrypted transport. That is not sufficient here: SSH server authentication depends on a usable host key rather than only configuring a VTY password.
