CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) — Question 235

Which of the following can be implemented to add an additional layer of security between a corporate network and network management interfaces?

Answer options

• A. Jump box
• B. Console server
• C. API interface
• D. In-band management

Correct answer: A

Explanation

A Jump box serves as a secure intermediary that limits direct access to network management interfaces, enhancing security. The other options do not provide the same level of isolation or secure access; a Console server is primarily for local access, an API interface is typically used for programmatic access, and In-band management refers to managing devices over the same network used for data, which does not add an additional layer of security.
