How can out-of-band management features secure my network management?
Out-of-band management using an independent dedicated channel to manage the network works as an alternate path to reach the network node when the network is down and traffic is not flowing. It ensures a secure remote emergency network access path to manage and troubleshoot the device when network traffic is down.
The SD Switch Enterprise is designed for out-of-band management. Users can simply plug in a USB dongle or MAX Adapter to provide an alternate WAN path that can remotely access your SD-Switch. This provides extra redundancy for your network management.
