Question

An engineer must design a management network for a customer's enterprise network. The design must:

  • provide the ability to grant and revoke access privileges
  • allow only protocols SSH, NTP, FTP, and SNMP
  • restrict access to management interfaces

Which solution must the engineer choose to meet the requirements?

Options

  • Ain-band
  • BmGRE
  • Cout-of-band
  • Denterprise internal private

Why each option

An out-of-band management network provides a dedicated, isolated management plane that supports granular access control, protocol restrictions, and exclusive access to management interfaces.

Ain-band

In-band management shares the production network, making it much harder to isolate management interfaces or restrict access to only specific management protocols.

BmGRE

mGRE (Multipoint GRE) is a tunneling technology used for VPN overlays such as DMVPN, not a management network architecture.

Cout-of-bandCorrect

An out-of-band (OOB) management network is physically or logically separate from the production network, allowing administrators to restrict which protocols (SSH, NTP, FTP, SNMP) can reach management interfaces via ACLs or firewall rules. It also supports role-based access control to grant and revoke privileges independently of production traffic, satisfying all three design requirements.

Denterprise internal private

Enterprise internal private is not a recognized standard management network design category that addresses access privilege management and protocol restriction requirements.
