Explanation

SSH (Secure Shell) provides encrypted, authenticated remote command-line access to network devices such as routers and switches. It replaces the older Telnet protocol, which transmits data - including credentials - in plaintext. RDP is a Windows-specific remote desktop protocol, not used for router CLI management. TFTP is an insecure, unauthenticated file transfer protocol. HTTP is an unencrypted web protocol. SSH is the industry-standard choice for secure administrative access to network infrastructure.
