Designing Cisco Data Center Infrastructure (DCID) — Question 38

The management of the Cisco Nexus switches is provided over an isolated put-of-band network. The VDC feature is configured on the Cisco Nexus core switches.
How is out-of-band management access provided for each VDC?

Answer options

• A. All the VDC have the same out-of-band IP address.
• B. Each VDC has a dedicated out-of-band Ethernet management port.
• C. Each VDC has a unique out-of-band IP address from the same IP subnet.
• D. Each VDC has a unique out-of-band IP address from different IP subnets among VDCs.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because each Virtual Device Context (VDC) can be assigned a unique out-of-band IP address that exists within the same subnet to ensure proper management. Option A is incorrect as it implies sharing an address, which would cause conflicts, while B suggests dedicated ports which are not a requirement. Option D is incorrect because it states the addresses are from different subnets, which is not necessary for VDC management.
