The correct answer is D. Protocol: SCP. To implement a Cisco UCS disaster recovery policy that requires encrypted transmission for backups, the SCP protocol must be used.
Question
An engineer must implement a disaster recovery policy for the Cisco UCS infrastructure. The solution must meet these criteria:
- The Recovery Point Objective must be 48 hours.
- The backup must use encrypted transmission.
- The Recovery Time Objective must be 4 hours.
Which configuration set must be used in the scheduled backup to meet these requirements?
Options
- AProtocol: FTP
- BProtocol: SFTP
- CProtocol: TFTP
- DProtocol: SCP

Why each option
To implement a Cisco UCS disaster recovery policy that requires encrypted transmission for backups, the SCP protocol must be used.
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) transmits data and credentials in plaintext, making it unsuitable for encrypted transmission.
SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) does provide encrypted transmission, but SCP is also a valid and commonly used secure protocol in UCS environments.
TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) transmits data and credentials in plaintext, making it unsuitable for encrypted transmission.
The SCP (Secure Copy Protocol) protocol provides encrypted transmission for file transfers, satisfying the requirement for secure backup of the Cisco UCS infrastructure. SCP encrypts both the data and authentication information during transfer, protecting against eavesdropping and tampering.
