CCNA: Cisco Certified Network Associate — Question 488

Which two primary drivers support the need for network automation? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Increasing reliance on self-diagnostic and self-healing
• B. Eliminating training needs
• C. Policy-driven provisioning of resources
• D. Reducing hardware footprint
• E. Providing a single entry point for resource provisioning

Correct answer: A, C

Explanation

The correct answers, A and C, highlight the importance of automation in enhancing network reliability through self-diagnostic capabilities and enabling resource management aligned with organizational policies. Options B, D, and E do not directly address the fundamental reasons for automation in networking, as training, hardware reduction, and single access points are secondary benefits rather than primary drivers.
