   A managed service provider (MSP) monitors networks for multiple clients. Each client has 10-50 devices. The MSP needs to provide a consistent management interface and automate configuration backups for all clients. Which approach is most suitable?

   • AController-level management using a single-controller platform without multi-tenancy.
   • BDevice-level management using a separate SSH session for each device.
   • CController-level management with a multi-tenant controller platform.
   • DDevice-level management using a script that runs on each client's network.

   A network administrator needs to configure a one-time static route on a single router in a remote branch office. The router is currently managed via SSH. The administrator wants to minimize changes to the existing management infrastructure. What should the administrator do?

   • AUse SNMP to set the static route.
   • BUse NETCONF to edit the running configuration.
   • CUse SSH to log into the router and add the static route.
