Implementing Cisco Data Center Virtualization and Automation (DCVAI, legacy) — Question 8

Which management interface is selected by the Cisco APIC by default if an in-band management interface and an out-of-band management interface exist?

Answer options

• A. In-band is preferred.
• B. The first configured interface is selected.
• C. The interface that has the highest priority is selected.
• D. Out-of-band is preferred.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The Cisco APIC defaults to out-of-band management for better security and reliability, making it the correct choice. In-band management can expose sensitive data to the network, while the first configured interface or the highest priority interface does not account for the security advantages of out-of-band management.
