Review the network topology diagram to determine if a management network has been implemented. Validate the IP address space documented for this network by verifying the IP addresses referenced for management access (SSH, NTP, AAA, SNMP manager, Syslog server, etc.) to the managed network elements.

If a management network has not been implemented, this is a finding.
