Common mistakes.

A. Out-of-band management is a method of management that uses a separate network or interface, not the name of a default in-band management interface.
B. The redundant port is used for high availability between two WLCs in a redundant pair and is not the default interface for general in-band management.
C. The service port on a WLC is primarily for out-of-band management, such as initial setup or recovery using a direct console connection, and is not the default interface for in-band network management.
