  1. Another common reason for out-of-band management is to allow emergency access to physically remote devices in case the primary network becomes unavailable. It’s often really handy to have a special back door you can use to troubleshoot whatever problem has broken your main network.

  2. B is correct – Use SSH over out-of-band management – this is the only option that satisfies all 3 criteria.

    TACACS can be used to authenticate via access ports – it’s commonly done. By itself, it doesn’t meet ANY of the 3 criteria.
