During a routine audit, a network administrator discovers that several access switches have VLAN configurations that differ from the approved baseline. The differences are not documented and no change requests were filed. What is the MOST appropriate immediate action?

Reconfigure the switches to match the approved baseline and document the deviation in the audit report.

Submit a change request to approve the current configuration as the new baseline.

Immediately delete the VLAN configurations from the switches to prevent security issues.

Leave the switches as they are and note the differences in the documentation for future reference.

What is the primary purpose of configuration management in network operations?

To increase the speed of the network by optimizing routing protocols

To ensure that network devices are consistently configured and any changes are tracked and controlled

To provide a backup of all user data on the network

To monitor network traffic for security threats in real time

A network administrator is responsible for a network that has experienced several outages caused by unauthorized configuration changes. The administrator wants to implement a process to prevent this from happening again. Which combination of practices is MOST effective?

Backing up configurations daily and restoring them if an issue occurs.

Restricting access to network devices to only senior administrators.

Implementing a formal change management process and conducting regular configuration audits.

Increasing the logging level on all devices and reviewing logs weekly.
