A network team is planning to use CML to test a new routing protocol implementation. They need to ensure that the virtual routers behave similarly to physical hardware and that the team can share the topology with remote colleagues. Which CML feature is most relevant to these needs?

The built-in packet capture feature.

The auto-discovery of physical network devices.

Image management and lab export/import capabilities.

The ability to run on a single laptop without any server.

Which scenario best illustrates the use of a network test automation tool?

Applying a new VLAN configuration to a switch

Running a script that checks if a new ACL is blocking the intended traffic

Backing up router configurations to a TFTP server

Using SNMP to poll interface counters every five minutes

A team wants to automate the testing of a new QoS policy in a virtual environment before deploying it to production. They plan to use CML to build the topology and pyATS to run the tests. What is the primary benefit of combining these two tools?

It provides real-time traffic generation to stress-test the network.

It allows testing in a safe, isolated environment with automated validation.

It automatically deploys the configuration to production after testing.

It eliminates the need for any physical hardware in the lab.
