Final answer:

To remotely deploy agents from a Network Node, SSH credentials must be configured in the portal, involving the use of a key pair, with the public key shared with the Network Node, and the private key configured in the portal.

In order for a Network Node to remotely deploy agents, SSH credentials must be configured in the portal. SSH, or Secure Shell, is a cryptographic network protocol for operating network services securely over an unsecured network. In this case, it is used to enable secure, remote deployments of network agents.

This involves generating an SSH key pair (a public key and a private key), sharing the public key with the Network Node, and configuring the private key in the portal. The private key is stored in the portal, while the public key is used by the Network Node to authenticate the attempt to remotely deploy an agent.

The other options, Admin credentials, Agent credentials, and Network credentials, while important in their own roles within the network, are not specifically necessary for the remote deployment of agents from a Network Node.
