Implementing Cisco Network Security (IINS, legacy) — Question 121

In which two situations should you use out-of-band management? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. when a network device fails to forward packets
• B. when you require ROMMON access
• C. when management applications need concurrent access to the device
• D. when you require administrator access from multiple locations
• E. when the control plane fails to respond

Correct answer: A, B

Explanation

Out-of-band management is ideal when a network device fails to forward packets (A) because it allows for troubleshooting without relying on the primary network. Accessing ROMMON (B) is also a critical situation for out-of-band management, as it is often needed when a device is not booting correctly. The other options, while relevant to management needs, do not specifically necessitate out-of-band management.
