Out-of-band access is a remote access method that provides a separate, independent channel for accessing network devices and systems. Out-of-band access uses a dedicated network connection or a separate communication channel, such as a dial-up or cellular connection, to provide access to network devices and systems. This allows an administrator to access the management network even if the primary network connection is unavailable or impaired. Out-of-band access is a good solution for providing a redundant link to the management network in an incident response scenario because it can be used to access the network even if the primary connection is unavailable or impaired.
