   An administrator is configuring a Dell SONiC switch and needs to set up in-band management. The switch is connected to a core switch via a trunk port that carries VLANs 100, 200, and 300. The management VLAN is VLAN 300, and the switch should be reachable at 10.10.30.2/24. The trunk port is already configured. What is the correct set of commands to configure the management IP?

   • Aconfig vlan 300; ip address 10.10.30.2/24
   • Bconfig vlan 300; exit; config interface Vlan300; ip address 10.10.30.2/24
   • Cconfig interface Ethernet1/1; ip address 10.10.30.2/24
   • Dconfig interface Vlan300; ip address 10.10.30.2/24; exit; config vlan 300

   A network team is configuring a Dell SONiC switch for in-band management. The switch is connected to a core network via a trunk port (Ethernet 1/1) that carries VLANs 10, 20, and 30. The management VLAN is VLAN 30, and the switch must be reachable at 192.168.30.2/24. The trunk port is already configured. What additional configuration is needed?

   • AConfigure the management interface (eth0) with IP 192.168.30.2/24 and connect it to a port in VLAN 30.
   • BCreate VLAN 30, assign IP 192.168.30.2/24 to the VLAN interface, and ensure Ethernet 1/1 is a member of VLAN 30.
   • CAssign IP 192.168.30.2/24 directly to Ethernet 1/1 and enable routing on the port.
   • DCreate a loopback interface with IP 192.168.30.2/24 and add it to VLAN 30.

   A company has a Dell SONiC switch that must be managed in-band over a production VLAN. The management VLAN is VLAN 500, and the switch must have IP 10.10.50.2/24 on that VLAN. The engineer needs to ensure that the switch's management services (SSH, SNMP) are reachable via this in-band address. What is the minimal configuration required?

   • ACreate a loopback interface with IP 10.10.50.2/24 and add a front-panel port to VLAN 500.
   • BAssign the IP address directly to a front-panel port and enable IP routing on that port.
   • CConfigure the management interface (eth0) with IP 10.10.50.2/24 and connect it to a port in VLAN 500.
   • DCreate VLAN 500, assign an IP address to the VLAN interface, and add a front-panel port to VLAN 500 as an access port.

   When configuring the management interface on a Dell SONiC switch for out-of-band access, which of the following is the primary purpose of assigning a default gateway to that interface?

   • ATo enable the switch to participate in dynamic routing protocols like OSPF or BGP
   • BTo enable routing of management traffic to remote subnets
   • CTo provide a path for the switch to learn MAC addresses from the data plane
   • DTo allow the switch to forward data-plane traffic between VLANs

   An organization is deploying a Dell SONiC switch in a branch office. The switch will be managed in-band via a management VLAN (VLAN 10) on a front-panel port. The management VLAN is on subnet 172.16.10.0/24, and the switch should be reachable at 172.16.10.2/24. The front-panel port (Ethernet 1/1) is currently an access port in VLAN 10. What additional configuration is needed?

   • AConfigure the management interface (eth0) with IP 172.16.10.2/24.
   • BCreate a loopback interface with IP 172.16.10.2/24.
   • CCreate VLAN 10 and assign IP 172.16.10.2/24 to the VLAN interface.
   • DAssign IP 172.16.10.2/24 directly to Ethernet 1/1.
