Which statement about NSIP management access is correct?

• A. NSIP management access can be disabled.
• B. NSIP management access is enabled by default and cannot be disabled; you can control it using ACLs.
• C. NSIP has no management access.
• D. Management access only applies to SNIP.

Answer: (B)

NSIP is the management IP of the Citrix ADC, the address you use to reach the device’s management plane. Because the appliance needs a reliable way to be managed, management access to the NSIP is enabled by default and cannot be disabled; you control who can access it and what management protocols are allowed by applying ACLs on the NSIP. This means you can restrict admin access to trusted sources while still keeping the device manageable, even if the data-plane IPs (like SNIP) are in use. The idea that NSIP has no management access or that management access only applies to SNIP isn’t correct, since the NSIP is specifically for management and you filter who can reach it rather than removing its management capability altogether.
