Demo Question 17.

Answer: A, B

Explanation: The CiscoIOS HTTP server provides authentication, but not encryption, for client connections. The data that the client and server transmit to each other is not encrypted. This leaves communication between clients and servers vulnerable to interception and attack. The Secure HTTP (HTTPS) feature provides the capability to connect to the CiscoIOS HTTPS server securely. It uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) to provide device authentication and data encryption Enabling HTTPS To enable HTTPS, enter the following command in global configuration mode: Disabling HTTPSTo disable HTTPS, enter the following command in global configuration mode: Changing the HTTPS Port Number The default HTTPS port number is 443. To change the HTTPS port number, enter the following command in global configuration mode: The HTTPS server uses the same authentication configuration settings as the HTTP server. Configuring HTTP authentication using the ip http authentication command also configures authentication for HTTPS. Configuring authentication for the HTTP and HTTPS servers adds additional security to communication between clients and the HTTP and HTTPS servers on the device.
