Designing Cisco Data Center Infrastructure (DCID) — Question 144

A network architect needs secure access to the organization's perimeter routers and firewalls. The administrator must access network devices from a remote location that is reachable from the WAN cloud. Which action meets these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Enable the SSH protocol with a strong username and password using an internet link for management purposes.
• B. Create an in-band network management network.
• C. Create a secure IPsec tunnel interface using an internet link for device management purposes.
• D. Create an out of band network management network.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as creating an in-band network management network allows the administrator to manage devices over the same network used for regular data traffic, which is crucial for secure access. Options A and C both involve internet links which may expose devices to security risks, and D does not provide remote access through the WAN cloud as required.
