Designing Cisco Data Center Infrastructure (DCID) — Question 46

An engineer is implementing management access to a Cisco Nexus platform. The customer requires a solution that provides isolation between the data and control planes, in addition to management that uses encryption and authentication. The customer will manage the device using both IPv4 and IPv6.

Which two components should be used to meet these requirements? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. mgmt0 interface
• B. SSH protocol
• C. SNMP
• D. SVI interface
• E. Telnet protocol

Correct answer: A, B

Explanation

The mgmt0 interface provides a dedicated management connection that ensures isolation between the data and control planes. Using the SSH protocol allows for secure, encrypted communication which meets the customer's requirements, while alternatives like Telnet do not provide encryption, and SNMP does not inherently provide authentication or isolation.
