Explanation

AOS-CX switches support various management protocols for administrative access, such as SSH, Telnet, HTTPS, and TFTP. Security best practices for managing network devices, including AOS-CX switches, emphasize using secure protocols to protect management traffic from eavesdropping and unauthorized access. Option B, "Make sure that Telnet is disabled and use SSH instead," is correct. Telnet is an insecure protocol because it sends all data, including credentials, in plaintext, making it vulnerable to eavesdropping. SSH (Secure Shell) provides encrypted communication for remote management, ensuring that credentials and commands are protected. HPE Aruba Networking recommends disabling Telnet and enabling SSH for secure management access on AOS-CX
