Question

Which interface is used for out-of-band management on a WLC?

Options

Amanagement
Bvirtual
Cdynamic
Dservice port

Explanation

The service port on a Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) is the dedicated physical interface used for out-of-band management.

Common mistakes.

A. The 'management' interface is a logical interface on the WLC, usually configured over one of the distribution system ports, making it an in-band management method rather than out-of-band.
B. The virtual interface is a logical, non-physical interface on the WLC used for guest web authentication, mobility, and other internal functions, not for physical out-of-band management access.
C. A dynamic interface on a WLC is a logical interface associated with a specific VLAN and WLAN for client data traffic, not for out-of-band management.

Concept tested. WLC out-of-band management interface
