What is a reason why an administrator would choose to implement an automated network management approach?

Enabling 'box by box' configuration is a manual approach that network automation aims to replace, not a benefit of it.

Automated tools can enforce complex password policies but are not primarily for 'deciphering simple password policies'.

Automated network management tools enforce standardized configurations and policies across all network devices, significantly reducing the likelihood of human error and configuration drift, thus minimizing inconsistencies and improving overall network stability and security.

Automation generally aims to reduce long-term operational costs and improve efficiency, not increase recurrent management costs.
