A pre-production security checklist for city APs flags Telnet still enabled alongside SSH. What should the technician do?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
If SSH is already there, Telnet is just an unlocked window next to a locked door. Shut Telnet off so the checklist—and any snooper—stops complaining.
Full Explanation
Telnet provides cleartext remote management and commonly fails security baselines when SSH is available. Technicians should disable Telnet and retain SSH for encrypted CLI access. Relocating Telnet onto a guest SSID does not make cleartext management acceptable.
