Which of the following command lines sets the administrator password for ntop to testing 123?

Question

Options

• Antop --set-admin-password=testing123
• Bntop --set-password=testing123
• Cntop --reset-password=testing123
• Dntop --set-new-password=testing123

• A
  93% (52)
• B
  2% (1)
• C
  4% (2)
• D
  2% (1)

Explanation

Option A is correct because --set-admin-password is the actual flag ntop uses to configure its administrator password directly from the command line, making ntop --set-admin-password=testing123 the valid syntax. Options B, C, and D use plausible-sounding but fabricated flags - --set-password, --reset-password, and --set-new-password are not recognized ntop options and will produce errors. The key distinction is the word "admin" in the flag, which is required because ntop distinguishes the admin account specifically. To remember this, think: ntop is a network tool with an admin role, so the flag mirrors that specificity - --set-admin-password, not a generic password flag.
