A console connection is used for direct device management, typically during initial setup, configuration, or when remote access methods like SSH are unavailable due to connectivity issues or security policies. It does not depend on network services being available, making it essential for troubleshooting during network outages. RADIUS and LDAP are primarily used for network access control and authentication services, not direct device management. SNMP, although used for network management, focuses on monitoring and managing network devices remotely and does not provide direct access like a console connection.
