Implementing Cisco Service Provider Advanced Solutions (SPCOR2) — Question 20

What is the main benefit of having an out-of-band management network for an infrastructure controller?

Answer options

• A. Data plane disruption is less likely.
• B. It provides separation on the management and data planes.
• C. Configuration of the controller is faster and simpler
• D. It is less expensive.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because an out-of-band management network can reduce costs by allowing management traffic to be handled separately, thus minimizing the need for additional infrastructure. Options A and B discuss aspects of data and management plane interaction, which are not primary benefits of out-of-band management. Option C focuses on configuration ease, which is not directly related to the cost-saving benefits.
