Telnet provides a command line interface to a remote host over TCP. Telnet
provides no encryption, but it does provide a measure of authentication.
SSH (Secure Shell) version 2, like Telnet, provides a command line
interface to a remote host. However, all SSH transmissions are encrypted,
increasing the security of the transmission.
HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) provides access to the device's GUI
using a Web browser. This protocol is somewhat unsecure.
HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) provides fairly secure access
to the device's GUI using a Web browser. Unlike HTTP, HTTPS uses
encryption for transmission, and is therefore more secure than HTTP.
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) exposes a device's
management data so it can be managed remotely. Device data is exposed
as variables that can be accessed and modified. However, SNMP is
generally used to monitor a system's performance and other parameters.
