000-221 Question #212: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

The correct answer is A. bos.net.ipsec.rte. In AIX, SSH and SFTP functionality is bundled within the optional bos.net.ipsec.rte fileset rather than in a separate package. This fileset must be installed before SFTP can be configured on the system.

Question

What optional AIX fileset must be installed to allow SFTP to be configured?

Options

Abos.net.ipsec.rte
Bbos.net.tcp.server
Copenssh.base.server
Dbos.net.ipsec.keymgt

Explanation

In AIX, SSH and SFTP functionality is bundled within the optional bos.net.ipsec.rte fileset rather than in a separate package. This fileset must be installed before SFTP can be configured on the system.

Common mistakes.

B. bos.net.tcp.server provides traditional TCP/IP server daemons such as FTP and telnet, but does not include the SSH or SFTP subsystem.
C. openssh.base.server is a third-party OpenSSH package for AIX and is not the IBM-native fileset that delivers built-in SFTP capability; that capability resides in bos.net.ipsec.rte.
D. bos.net.ipsec.keymgt provides IPsec key management services and has no role in enabling or configuring SFTP.

Concept tested. AIX fileset required for native SFTP support
