A network administrator needs to transfer a new configuration file to multiple Cisco routers efficiently. The transfer should use minimal system resources and not require user authentication. Which protocol is most suitable for this task?
The most suitable protocol for this task is TFTP. TFTP operates over UDP and allows simple file transfers without requiring user authentication. It has minimal overhead and uses minimal system resources, making it ideal for distributing configuration files or firmware updates to network devices. Protocols like SFTP require authentication and have more overhead due to security features. HTTP is not typically used for transferring configuration files to network devices.
