A company with multiple branch offices wants to manage all its network devices from a single web-based dashboard without maintaining an on-premises NMS server. The devices are from a vendor that offers a cloud-managed solution. Which approach should the company adopt?

Use a remote-access VPN to connect to each branch and then use Telnet

Use SSH to each device and manually collect data

Set up an on-premises NMS server and configure SNMP on all devices

Use the vendor's cloud-managed platform to monitor and configure devices via the web dashboard

A network administrator is at a remote site and needs to recover a router that has an incorrect ACL blocking all management traffic. The administrator has physical access to the router but no console cable. Which action should the administrator take?

Use a rollover cable and terminal emulator to connect to the console port

Use Telnet to the router's console port via the network

Reboot the router and hope the ACL is not applied

Use SSH to the router's management IP from a laptop on the same LAN

A company is migrating from an on-premises NMS to a cloud-managed networking solution. The network includes legacy devices that do not support cloud management. The company wants to maintain centralized monitoring for all devices. What should the company do?

Keep the on-premises NMS for legacy devices and use the cloud dashboard for cloud-managed devices

Replace all legacy devices with cloud-managed devices immediately

Use SNMP traps from legacy devices to the cloud dashboard

Use SSH scripts to manually collect data from legacy devices and ignore the cloud dashboard

A company is deploying new wireless access points across multiple sites. They want to manage them centrally from the cloud and apply consistent configuration without on-site IT staff. Which solution is most suitable?

Configure each access point individually via SSH.

Use a Python script to configure each AP via Telnet.

Use a cloud-managed networking platform like Cisco Meraki.

Deploy an on-premises NMS server at each site.
