What port is used for managing access points?

The correct choice indicates that port 2712 is used for managing access points. This port is specifically designated for communication between the Sophos XG Firewall and the access points within the network. By using this dedicated port, the firewall can effectively manage, monitor, and configure the connected access points, facilitating a seamless integration to ensure network performance and security. This specialized communication helps in handling tasks such as firmware updates, configuration changes, and status monitoring.

In contrast, the other ports mentioned typically serve different purposes. For example, port 8080 is commonly associated with HTTP traffic, while port 443 is used for secure HTTPS connections. Port 6534 does not have the same recognized use in relation to access point management in the context of a Sophos XG Firewall and is often associated with other services or applications. Understanding these distinctions helps to clarify the specific roles that different ports play in network management and security.
