Exam 200-301 topic 1 question 1229 discussion

C. They use automation to centralize network-management tasks. Using automation to centralize network-management tasks is a strategy that can help reduce maintenance costs while maintaining network integrity. By automating routine and repetitive tasks, a network supervisor can streamline operations, reduce the likelihood of errors, and enhance overall efficiency. Centralized management through automation allows for more effective monitoring, configuration management, and troubleshooting, contributing to network stability. Options A and D also involve automation, but option C specifically emphasizes centralization, which can further improve coordination and control over network management tasks.

I choose A.... The option C its a good option, but it does not maintaining network integrity on a traditionally managed network.

A - Installing a network monitoring tool will cost money by itself, which is what they are trying to avoid in the first place. C - Automation of network management tasks will reduce costs by decreasing the number of network admins needed, unfortunately :(

from chatgpt: A. Automated Network-Monitoring System: Early Warning: Installing an automated network-monitoring system helps identify potential issues before they become major problems, allowing for proactive maintenance rather than reactive fixes. This can prevent costly downtime and reduce the time and effort required for troubleshooting. Cost-Effective: Automated systems can monitor the network continuously without the need for additional human resources, thereby reducing labor costs. Integrity Maintenance: By providing real-time alerts and comprehensive monitoring, these systems help maintain network integrity by ensuring issues are addressed promptly.

B and D refer to SDN. Traditional networks use automated network-monitoring system like SNMP controler.

C is the umbrella term for A and D as well... A network supervisor can reduce maintenance costs while maintaining network integrity on a traditionally managed network by: C. They use automation to centralize network-management tasks. Automation helps to centralize and simplify network management, reducing the time and effort required for routine tasks and the potential for human error. This allows for more efficient use of resources and can significantly cut down on maintenance costs.

i think C , APIC-EM

Whoever chose option B is on crack. C is the answer

The correct answer is C. They use automation to centralize network-management tasks. A network supervisor reduces maintenance costs while maintaining network integrity on a traditionally managed network by using automation to centralize network-management tasks. By centralizing tasks such as monitoring, troubleshooting, and configuration management, the network supervisor can streamline and automate these processes, reducing the need for manual intervention and minimizing the potential for human errors. This helps in reducing maintenance costs as it reduces the time and effort required for managing the network.

Wrong answer B.

B is not reducing maintenance cost. to reduce it, we need automation. C seems right
