CCNA: Cisco Certified Network Associate — Question 650

Which functionality is provided by the console connection on a Cisco WLC?

Answer options

• A. HTTP-based GUI connectivity
• B. secure in-band connectivity for device administration
• C. out-of-band management
• D. unencrypted in-band connectivity for file transfers

Correct answer: C

Explanation
