A network engineer needs to transfer configuration files to several network devices that support only basic file transfer capabilities and have limited processing power. Security is not a concern as the network is isolated. Which protocol would best meet these requirements?
Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) is designed for simple, unsecured file transfers and is ideal for devices with limited resources. It operates without authentication and has minimal overhead, making it suitable for transferring files in a controlled environment where security is not a priority. FTP requires authentication and more resources, while SFTP adds encryption and requires additional processing power. HTTP is primarily used for transferring web content, not for device configuration files in this context.
