What is the primary purpose of a console port on a Cisco WLC?

The correct answer is C. out-of-band management via an asynchronous transport. The controller has both EIA/TIA-232 asynchronous (RJ-45) and USB 5-pin mini Type B, 2.0 compliant serial console ports. The default parameters for the console ports are 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity. The console ports do not support hardware flow control.
