Ann, a network engineer, wants to use FTP to back up and push configurations to several switches she is updating.
Ann starts the FTP service on her PC and places the new configuration in the correct directory.
However, she cannot communicate with the PC using FTP from the switch.
Which of the following must Ann do to allow FTP communications?
Click on the arrows to vote for the correct answer
A. B. C. D.C.
To allow FTP communications from the switch to Ann's PC, Ann needs to perform the following steps:
D. Make sure the PC's IP is in the management VLAN:
For the switch to communicate with Ann's PC, the PC's IP address needs to be in the same VLAN as the switch's management VLAN. Ann needs to check the IP address of her PC and verify that it is in the correct VLAN. If the IP address is not in the correct VLAN, Ann needs to configure the PC's network settings to place it in the correct VLAN.
A. Create a static DNS entry on the server for the PC:
A DNS entry is used to translate a domain name to an IP address. However, in this case, the switch needs to communicate with Ann's PC using the IP address. Therefore, creating a static DNS entry on the server is not necessary.
B. Change her NIC IP address to dynamic:
Changing the NIC IP address to dynamic will not help the switch communicate with Ann's PC. A dynamic IP address is assigned by a DHCP server and can change over time. However, the switch needs to communicate with Ann's PC using a specific IP address.
C. Create a new exception on her local firewall:
Creating a new exception on Ann's local firewall may help if the firewall is blocking FTP traffic. However, this is not the most likely cause of the problem. Before changing firewall settings, Ann needs to verify that the PC's IP address is in the management VLAN.
