CV0-002 · Question #72

A storage appliance has lost all network access. Which of the following network access methods could a storage engineer use to investigate and correct the issue?

The correct answer is B. Console port. When a storage appliance has lost all network access, a storage engineer should use the console port for investigation and correction as it provides out-of-band access independent of network connectivity.

Why each option

When a storage appliance has lost all network access, a storage engineer should use the console port for investigation and correction as it provides out-of-band access independent of network connectivity.

AHTTP

HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) requires IP network connectivity to access a web-based management interface, which would be unavailable if the appliance lost all network access.

BConsole portCorrect

A console port provides a direct serial connection to a device's command-line interface (CLI) or management interface, functioning completely out-of-band. This method is critical for troubleshooting and reconfiguring network settings when the primary network interfaces are completely down or misconfigured, as it does not rely on IP connectivity to the appliance.

CRDP

RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) is used for graphical remote access to Windows-based systems and requires active IP network connectivity, which is not present in this scenario.

DSSH

SSH (Secure Shell) provides secure command-line remote access over an IP network and would be unusable if the storage appliance has lost all network access.
