A network administrator is updating the documentation for a router that was recently reconfigured. The administrator wants to ensure that the documentation reflects the current state and that changes are tracked. Which practice is MOST appropriate?

Update the documentation immediately after the change and commit it to a version-controlled repository.

Update the documentation only if the change is permanent and no further changes are planned.

Wait until the end of the month to update all documentation at once.

Verbally inform the team of the change and update the documentation only if someone asks.

A network administrator needs to update the VLAN configuration on a core switch to support a new department. The change was approved by the change advisory board (CAB) and is scheduled for the next maintenance window. According to change management best practices, which action should the administrator take FIRST before making the change?

Implement the change immediately and then update the documentation after verifying the network is stable.

Inform the network team of the change via email and wait for their approval before proceeding.

Back up the current running configuration to a local file and then proceed with the change without further documentation.

Create a rollback plan and update the configuration baseline documentation to reflect the planned change.

An organization has 200 network devices from multiple vendors. The network team wants to automate the deployment of standardized configurations, ensure devices remain compliant with the baseline, and automatically remediate any configuration drift. Which tool is BEST suited for this task?

A TFTP server for manual backups

A network monitoring system like PRTG

A network administrator is planning a major upgrade to the core network. The change has been approved, but the administrator is concerned about the risk of the upgrade failing and causing prolonged downtime. The administrator wants to ensure that the network can be restored to its pre-upgrade state quickly. Which strategy is MOST effective?

Rely on the vendor's support team to restore the network if the upgrade fails.

Document the upgrade steps in detail and hope that the upgrade succeeds.

Perform the upgrade during off-peak hours to minimize the impact of any downtime.

Create a full backup of all device configurations and store them on a secure server, and test the restoration process on a lab device.

A network team is choosing a configuration management tool for a large enterprise with thousands of devices. The team requires a tool that provides a centralized dashboard, supports automated compliance checks, and can generate reports for audits. The team also wants to minimize the need for manual scripting. Which tool is BEST suited for these requirements?

A spreadsheet to track configuration changes

A simple TFTP server for configuration backups

A custom Python script that runs on a schedule
