An administrator wants to upload a file with information related to network hierarchy instead of using the GUI wizard. How can the administrator do this?

Question

Options

• AInstall application "Network Hierarchy Management for QRadar"
• BUpload file using REST API
• CModify /opt/qradar/conf/remotenet.conf
• DUse upload button in Network Hierarchy wizard

• C

• D

Explanation

Option A is correct because IBM provides a dedicated "Network Hierarchy Management for QRadar" application (available via the IBM App Exchange) that enables administrators to upload a properly formatted file (e.g., CSV) containing network hierarchy data, bypassing the manual, click-by-click GUI wizard process.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B (REST API): QRadar's REST API does not offer a supported endpoint for bulk uploading network hierarchy definitions via file - this path doesn't exist for this use case.
• C (/opt/qradar/conf/remotenet.conf): This file controls remote network configuration, not the network hierarchy; directly editing QRadar config files is unsupported and risks breaking the system.
• D (Upload button in wizard): The question explicitly asks for an alternative to the GUI wizard - using a button inside that same wizard still relies on the wizard and does not meet the requirement.

Memory tip: When you see "file upload" + "network hierarchy" + "not the wizard," think App Exchange app - IBM's answer to bulk/automated configuration tasks in QRadar is almost always a dedicated installed application, not a raw API or config file edit.
