Cisco Aci Inband Management

Inband management is a key feature of the Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) architecture. It provides a single point of control and visibility for the entire ACI fabric. Inband management uses a dedicated management network to connect the APIC controller to all of the switches in the ACI fabric. This dedicated management network is separate from the data plane and is used exclusively for system management traffic.

• Simplified management: Inband management provides a single point of control and visibility for the entire ACI fabric. All configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting can be done from the APIC controller.

•Improved security: Inband management uses a dedicated management network that is separate from the data plane. This separation helps to ensure that management traffic cannot be intercepted or tampered with.

•Enhanced reliability: Inband management uses a redundant management network to connect the APIC controller to the switches in the ACI fabric. If one management link fails, the other link can take over.

The Cisco ACI architecture is designed to simplify the data center and help you achieve your business goals. Inband management is a key feature of this architecture that can help you simplify your data center management.
