Why each option
In-band management access to a Cisco APIC can be achieved using both the REST API and the Graphical User Interface (GUI).
The REST API allows programmatic access to the APIC for configuration and monitoring, which can be performed over the in-band data plane through a management EPG.
FTP is a file transfer protocol and not a method for APIC in-band management access.
ZTP (Zero Touch Provisioning) is a method for initial device deployment and bootstrapping, not for ongoing in-band management access to an operational APIC.
The GUI provides a web-based interface for managing the ACI fabric, accessible from a client connected to an in-band management network defined within the ACI fabric.
POAP (PowerOn Auto Provisioning) is a Cisco Nexus feature for initial device setup and configuration, similar to ZTP, and not for in-band management access to an APIC.
