I'm curious as to their reasoning for recommending OOB over In-band.   
We implemented CCA before OOB was available, but based on my  
experience with VMPSd and other similar solutions, OOB would have  
required redesigning large parts of our network.  Also, Cisco still  
hasn't put some of our edge devices on their "approved" list.  So  
far, we've been very happy with In-band.
