Why would an administrator choose to implement an automated network management solution?

Automated network management solutions reduce the need for manual intervention, minimize human error, and accelerate deployment and configuration, thereby significantly lowering labor-related operational expenses.

Automated network management focuses on configuration, monitoring, and orchestration, not directly on simplifying password policies, which are security and access control concerns.

"Box by box" configuration and deployment is the antithesis of automation; automation aims to move away from individual device management to a centralized, programmatic approach.

While 'limit recurrent management costs' is a benefit, 'reduce operational costs' is a broader and more encompassing primary reason for network automation, covering all ongoing expenses.
