A. UCS-A# scope server 1 UCS-A /server# scope cimc UCS-A /server/cimc # scope mgmt-conn sideband UCS-A /server/cimc # mgmt-conn-state enabled UCS-A /server/cimc/mgmt-conn* # commit-buffer
Explanation:
The Cisco UCS C-Series servers have a dedicated Cisco Integrated Management Controller (CIMC) that provides out-of-band management capabilities for the server. The CIMC is accessed through the server's dedicated management port, which can be connected to the management network for remote access to the server's configuration and operation.
To enable a single cable for management and data traffic on a Cisco UCS C-Series server, the CIMC's sideband management feature should be enabled. This feature allows the management traffic to share the same cable as the data traffic, providing a simplified cabling infrastructure.
The correct configuration for enabling sideband management on a Cisco UCS C-Series server through the Cisco UCS Manager is as follows:
Option A is the correct answer because it correctly follows the above configuration steps.
Option B is incorrect because it starts with the chassis scope instead of the server scope.
Option C is incorrect because it does not include the CIMC scope before setting the management connection state to enabled.
Option D is incorrect because it does not include the CIMC scope before setting the management connection state to enabled and has a syntax error by missing a slash after "chassis" in the second line.
