What is a benefit of managing the network configuration by using organized code that consumes APIs when deploying multiple network devices?

The correct answer is D. fewer manual network changes. Using infrastructure-as-code (IaC) and API-driven automation to configure network devices significantly reduces the need for engineers to manually log into each device and apply changes one by one.

Question

What is a benefit of managing the network configuration by using organized code that consumes APIs when deploying multiple network devices?

Options

  • Asimplifies the device configuration
  • Beliminates use of legacy management protocols

Explanation

Using infrastructure-as-code (IaC) and API-driven automation to configure network devices significantly reduces the need for engineers to manually log into each device and apply changes one by one. This directly results in fewer manual network changes, reducing human error and saving time. Option A is incorrect-automation does not inherently simplify the device configuration itself, only the process of applying it. Option B is incorrect-APIs can complement but do not eliminate legacy protocols. Option C is incorrect-device security is not directly improved by using APIs for configuration management.
