Show AnswerHide Answer
Correct Answer: A
For connecting a Cisco ACI APIC node to an out-of-band segment, the correct connectivity type to use is the 1-Gb Ethernet dedicated management port. This port is specifically designed for out-of-band management activities, allowing network administrators to manage the device independently of the main network data flow. The other ports listed, such as dual 1-Gb/10-Gb Ethernet ports, are typically used for data traffic rather than management functions.

Jul 18, 2024Yes, the correct answer is D, but this question leads to error. It's almost a crime to have a question like this. Normally, "LAN ports" are not used for OOB management, so it is natural to think that answer A would be correct.

Dec 2, 2023Unsure why people are suggesting A that is the CIMC port. D is correct

Out-of-band management is mandatory for the Cisco APIC initial setup and requires additional cabling on the management interfaces on the leaf and spine switches (interface mgmt0). Out of Band Management In ACI, with the help of RJ45 Management ports on APIC, OOB connectivity is provided. These APIC OOB Ports will be connected to any OOB management network with 10/100/1000BASE-T connectivity options. OOB management address can either be statically assigned to fabric nodes, or let APIC assign the IP address dynamically from Management Subnet.
