Question 205

Refer to the exhibit. A network engineer deploys Cisco APIC for the first time. Which connectivity type must be used to connect a Cisco ACI APIC node to connect to an out-of-band segment?

    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.

Yes, 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.

Maccc10Option: D

Unsure why people are suggesting A that is the CIMC port. D is correct

msalamehiOption: D

D there is 2 ports acts as active/standby, can be use for high availability, however, connecting one port will be enough

Mr_CertifiableOption: A

you need OOB dedicated port and LAN connectivity to leaf Switches [Data plane] https://blog.devopssimplified.com/ACI-First-7-Days-Notes

Is it D https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/datacenter/aci/apic/white_papers/Cisco-ACI-Initial-Deployment-Cookbook.html

DefiletOption: D

Answer is D. One the most basic questions for aci . A is for the cimc (cisco integrated management controller)

DashOption: D

D is the correct answer, those are the OOB Mgmt Ports for the Apic, Answer A depicts the dedicated Mgmt port for the CIMC.

Out-of-band 1-Gb/10-Gb Ethernet management ports for management of APIC OS only

https://www.dclessons.com/oob-in-band-management#:~:text=In%20ACI%2C%20with%20the%20help,%2F1000BASE%2DT%20connectivity%20options. 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.

imanusOption: A

you dont use lan ports for out of band connectivity... you use a dedicated management port
