At the very least, a separate VLAN. Not just for security, if the switch
gets flooded or caught in a layer 2 loop, at least you stand a chance of
managing it if SC0 is isolated.

Some people have dedicated management networks, making your definition
of
'in-band' equivalent to 'out of band' for those folks.
