Show AnswerHide Answer
Correct Answer: B
To access the KVM remotely using the out-of-band interface, it is essential that the interface is active and not disabled. The correct configuration involves using a dedicated NIC mode to provide a dedicated out-of-band management path. Additionally, the correct VLAN configuration is needed to correspond with the port configuration on the switch. According to the exhibit, Ethernet1/0/11 is assigned VLAN 101, which aligns with option B. Therefore, the configuration should be: NIC mode: Dedicated and VLAN ID: 101.

Jul 12, 2024It's correct: Dedicated—A connection to the CIMC is available through the management Ethernet port or ports. Shared LOM—A connection to the CIMC is available only through the LAN On Motherboard (LOM) Ethernet host ports. https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/unified_computing/ucs/c/sw/gui/config/guide/1-1-1/b_Cisco_UCS_C-Series_Servers_Integrated_Management_Controller_Configuration_Guide_1_1_1/Cisco_UCS_C-Series_Servers_Integrated_Management_Controller_Configuration_Guide_1_1_1_chapter1.html

Feb 8, 2025Why do you think Ethernet1/0/10 is connected to MGMT interface on the CIMC? Option A: NIC mode: Shared LOM - VLAN ID: 100 offers a better configuration as it allows the KVM traffic to traverse the shared LAN On Motherboard (LOM) interface and specifies VLAN ID 100 to segregate and manage the KVM traffic effectively, providing a secure and controlled environment for remote access.

Feb 8, 2025When the NIC mode is set to "Dedicated," it means the network interface card (NIC) is solely used for out-of-band management traffic, which is ideal for accessing the KVM remotely. However, with the VLAN state disabled, the KVM traffic will not be segregated into a specific VLAN, potentially leading to security and management challenges as the traffic won't be isolated.

Feb 9, 2025It's not what's best. It's what's required from the question. > It requires OOB, so it must use management interface. > Plus, the neighbor device uses access mode, hence it does not require VLAN to be set.
