350-601 Question #517: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

Refer to the exhibit. An engineer must access a Cisco UCS C-Series server KVM from a remote location. The engineer must use the out-of-band interface to access the KYM. Which configuration set meets these requirements?

Options

• ANIC mode: Shared LOM
• BNIC mode: Dedicated
• CNIC mode: Dedicated
• DNIC mode: Shared LOM

Explanation

To access a Cisco UCS C-Series server KVM using the out-of-band interface, the NIC mode for the Cisco IMC must be configured as Dedicated.

Common mistakes.

• A. Shared LOM (LAN On Motherboard) mode allows the IMC to share the server's network interfaces with the host OS, which might not be considered a truly "out-of-band" interface for KVM access as it depends on the server's physical network connections.
• B. While "Dedicated" NIC mode is correct, the inclusion of a specific IPv4 address (192.168.10.10) is an example and not the core configuration for out-of-band KVM access, which is the NIC mode itself.
• D. Shared LOM mode does not meet the requirement of a truly independent out-of-band interface for KVM access, as it relies on sharing the server's LAN interfaces.
