Options
- Aprotection of management traffic
- Blower equipment costs
- Cseparate transport equipment
- Dprotection of production traffic
Explanation
In-band management shares the existing production network infrastructure, eliminating the need for dedicated management hardware and thus reducing equipment costs.
Common mistakes.
- A. Protection of management traffic is an advantage of out-of-band management, which isolates management plane communications from potentially compromised or congested production paths.
- C. Separate transport equipment is a characteristic of out-of-band networks, which require dedicated hardware - the opposite of what in-band provides.
- D. Protection of production traffic is an advantage of out-of-band management because it prevents management storms or attacks from consuming production bandwidth.
Concept tested. In-band vs out-of-band management network trade-offs
