CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) — Question 6

Which of the following should be used to obtain remote access to a network appliance that has failed to start up properly?

Answer options

• A. Crash cart
• B. Jump box
• C. Secure Shell
• D. Out-of-band management

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Out-of-band management is the correct choice because it allows administrators to access the device through a dedicated management interface, even when the primary system is unresponsive. The other options, such as Crash cart and Jump box, do not provide the necessary remote access capabilities, while Secure Shell requires the device to be operational to establish a connection.
