What are two benefit of managing network configuration via APIs? (Choose two.)

APIs change the method of configuration delivery but do not reduce the complexity of the underlying device configuration itself.

API-based management does not inherently lock out manual configuration as a security control - both access methods typically coexist on managed devices.

APIs allow the same configuration payload to be applied across many devices programmatically, ensuring identical results and enabling a level of scalability that manual CLI-based management cannot match.

SNMP and other legacy protocols continue to operate independently for monitoring and management; adopting APIs does not eliminate their use or technical necessity.

By automating configuration delivery through APIs, the volume of changes performed manually is reduced, decreasing human error and accelerating deployment workflows.
