Which of the following statements is false about in-band and out-of-band deployment of iMaster NCE-Fabric?

Huawei iMaster NCE-Fabric supports both in-band and out-of-band deployment modes, each with distinct characteristics.

In in-band deployment (A, B) :

The management traffic shares the service network , meaning no separate management network is required.

The controller communicates with device management IPs over the service (data) network .

Redundant links can be configured to ensure high reliability and avoid single points of failure.

Therefore, A and B are correct descriptions .

Option C is false because it incorrectly states that the management and service networks are isolated in in-band mode. In reality, they are NOT isolated —they share the same physical infrastructure, which is a defining feature of in-band deployment.

In out-of-band deployment (D) :

A separate management network is used.

iMaster NCE-Fabric connects to devices via dedicated management interfaces through a management switch , ensuring isolation from service traffic.

Huawei recommends choosing deployment mode based on network scale, security, and reliability requirements .

Therefore, the correct answer is C .
