To secure the HTTP server on a Cisco device, which command should be used?

ip http secure-server
ip secure http server
http server secure
ip http security

The correct answer is: ip http secure-server

The command "ip http secure-server" is the appropriate command to secure the HTTP server on a Cisco device. Utilizing this command enables HTTPS, which is a secure version of HTTP that encrypts the data transmitted between the client and the server. By implementing this command, the configurations ensure that any management traffic over the HTTP server is encrypted, thus protecting sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and other configuration data from being intercepted by unauthorized access. The other choices do not represent valid commands that would securely configure the HTTP server on a Cisco device. The command syntax for enabling HTTPS must specifically include "ip http secure-server" to correctly activate the secure server functionality. Understanding this syntax is crucial in ensuring proper configurations and maintaining secure communication with network devices.
