N10-009 · Question #185

Which of the following should be used to obtain remote access to a network appliance that has failed to start up properly?

The correct answer is D. Out-of-band management. If a network appliance fails to start, standard remote access methods like SSH won't work. Instead, Out-of-Band (OOB) management provides a dedicated access path (e.g., a console port or iDRAC/iLO), allowing administrators to troubleshoot devices even when the network is down.
