Designing Cisco Data Center Infrastructure (DCID) — Question 104

Which type of port should be used on a Cisco Nexus 7700 Switch for OOB management that uses Layer 3 and supports authentication and encryption?

Answer options

• A. management
• B. console
• C. Ethernet
• D. CMP

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as the management port on a Cisco Nexus 7700 is specifically designed for out-of-band management that supports Layer 3 protocols along with authentication and encryption. Options B (console) and C (Ethernet) do not provide the necessary out-of-band management capabilities, while D (CMP) is not a standard port type associated with this functionality.
