200-301 Question 465
Select 3A network administrator is managing a growing enterprise network where configuration changes are frequently required. The administrator decides to implement automation tools to streamline operations. Which benefits can the administrator expect from using automation in network management?
- A
Reduced manual errors during configuration changes
- B
Increased time required for change implementation
- C
Improved network scalability and consistency
- D
Decreased ability to monitor network performance
- E
Faster deployment of network devices and services
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C, E
Explanation
Automation in network management introduces multiple benefits, including reducing human errors, improving consistency, and enabling rapid deployment. These advantages allow network administrators to manage large-scale and dynamic networks more efficiently while ensuring high performance and reliability. However, automation does not introduce delays or reduce monitoring capabilities, it enhances them.
- A. Correct.
Automation reduces human intervention in repetitive tasks like configuration, which minimizes the risk of manual errors.
- B. Incorrect.
Automation typically decreases, not increases, the time required for implementing changes by streamlining processes.
- C. Correct.
Automation ensures that configurations are applied consistently across devices, which supports scalability and standardization.
- D. Incorrect.
Automation enhances monitoring capabilities through consistent metrics and data collection, rather than decreasing them.
- E. Correct.
Automation accelerates processes such as device provisioning and service deployment, leading to faster implementation.
