Exam 300-620 topic 1 question 302 discussion

To meet the requirements of securely transferring encrypted data to a remote server and ensuring that the transfer resumes if interrupted, the following considerations apply: Protocol Selection: SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) is the appropriate protocol because: It supports secure, encrypted file transfers. It provides built-in mechanisms for resuming interrupted transfers, ensuring reliability. Other protocols like TFTP, FTP, or HTTP do not inherently provide encryption or reliable transfer resumption. Data Format: The XML format is commonly used for configuration backups in Cisco ACI because it is structured and widely supported for importing/exporting configuration data. Global AES Encryption: To ensure that sensitive data (like passwords) is encrypted during backup, enabling Global AES Encryption on the APIC is recommended. This ensures compliance with the requirement to transfer encrypted data.
