CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 58

A remote physical server is unable to communicate to the network through the available NICs, which were misconfigured. However, the server administrator is still able to configure the server remotely. Which of the following connection types is the server administrator using to access the server?

Answer options

• A. Out-of-band management
• B. Crash cart access
• C. Virtual administrator console
• D. Local KVM setup
• E. RDP connection

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Out-of-band management because it allows access to the server even when the primary network interfaces are not operational. The other options, such as Crash cart access and Local KVM setup, require physical access to the server, while RDP and Virtual administrator console rely on network connectivity, which is unavailable in this scenario.
