CCNA: Cisco Certified Network Associate — Question 1009

What is a reason why an administrator would choose to implement an automated network management approach?

Answer options

• A. Enable "box by box" configuration and deployment.
• B. Decipher simple password policies.
• C. Reduce inconsistencies in the network configuration.
• D. Increase recurrent management costs.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer, C, highlights that automation helps to ensure consistency in network configurations, reducing errors. Option A suggests manual configuration, which contradicts automation. Option B is irrelevant as password policies are not a primary concern in automation. Option D incorrectly implies that automation increases costs, whereas it typically aims to reduce them.
