Designing Cisco Data Center Infrastructure (DCID) — Question 2

Which two features are provided by deploying an OOB management network in a Cisco Nexus data center? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Layer 3 path for monitoring purposes
• B. Layer 2 path for server traffic
• C. Layer 2 path for a vPC peer link
• D. Layer 3 path for vPC keepalive packets
• E. Layer 3 path for server traffic

Correct answer: A, D

Explanation

The correct answers are A and D because an OOB management network provides a Layer 3 path that is essential for monitoring and for transmitting vPC keepalive packets. Options B and C are incorrect as they pertain to Layer 2 paths, which are not the focus of OOB management, while option E is also incorrect since it refers to server traffic, not management functions.
