What is required for a network administrator to perform out-of-band management tasks on a Cisco device?
- a valid IP address configured on VLAN 1
- SSH enabled and functional on the device
- an active network connection available to the device
- a computer directly connected to the console port of the device
Answers Explanation & Hints: With out-of-band management, the only requirement is to have a computer directly connected to the console port of the device. This is the primary method to configure a new device because no network connection or prior configurations on the device is required.
