Drag and Drop Question Drag and drop the characteristics of networking from the left onto the correct networking types on the right. Answer:

The correct answer is focused on network; user input is a policy; uses white list security model; focused on devices; user input is a configuration; uses black list security model. The correct arrangement maps characteristics to two networking types: Intent-Based Networking (IBN)/Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is focused on the network as a whole, uses policy-driven user input, and employs a whitelist security model (only explicitly permitted traffic is

Explanation

The correct arrangement maps characteristics to two networking types: Intent-Based Networking (IBN)/Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is focused on the network as a whole, uses policy-driven user input, and employs a whitelist security model (only explicitly permitted traffic is allowed). Traditional networking is focused on individual devices, uses configuration-driven user input (CLI/device-by-device), and employs a blacklist security model (everything is permitted unless explicitly denied). These distinctions reflect the fundamental architectural differences between modern automated networking paradigms and legacy device-centric approaches.
