Designing Cisco Enterprise Networks (ENSLD) — Question 269
An engineer must design a management network that enables SSH, NTP, FTP, and SNMP over the production network. The design requires the management of routers and switches that exist across different networks. Which feature must the design include?
Answer options
- A. Management Plane Protection
- B. dedicated management console connection per device
- C. terminal server
- D. dedicated management VRF connection per device
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is D, as using a dedicated management VRF connection ensures that management traffic is isolated and secure across different networks. Option A, Management Plane Protection, is useful but does not address the isolation needed for different networks. Option B does not provide a scalable solution for managing multiple devices, and Option C, while useful for access, does not specifically address the need for a dedicated management connection.
