QuestionQ203

Network Design

A Cisco engineer is configuring a customer design that uses Cisco Nexus 7000 Series switches. Remote management access for every Layer 2 switch is configured on VLAN 12, using subnet 10.0.12.0/24. The route traverses a firewall with rules that restrict traffic to and from VLAN 12. The engineer is adding a Nexus 3064, primarily to act as the core router for the VLANs. How must the engineer configure the management VRF to use VLAN 12 for management, so it is in the same subnet as the remaining LAN switches?

  • A The L3 SVI on the switch must not accept management traffic.
  • B Configure VLAN 12 on the switch, and add it to the mgmt VRF.
  • C Plug the physical management interface into an access port on VLAN 12.
  • D Create SVI, add management to a new VRF, and keep it in global
Explanation

Cisco Nexus 3000 switches support in-band management by configuring a VLAN SVI as a management SVI. Configuring VLAN 12 and associating its SVI with the management VRF provides management connectivity on the existing 10.0.12.0/24 management subnet. The physical mgmt0 interface is intended for out-of-band management and does not itself create the required in-band VLAN SVI configuration.
