An administrator edits the network firewall configuration. After editing the configuration, the administrator logs the date and time of the edit and why it was performed in the firewall…

Asset management tracks the inventory, ownership, and lifecycle of IT assets such as hardware and software - it does not govern the process of documenting configuration changes.

A baseline is a documented snapshot of normal system performance or configuration used as a reference point for comparison - it is not the process of logging individual changes.

Network maps are visual or documented representations of network topology - they show how devices are connected but are not a record of changes made to configurations.

Change management requires that all modifications to infrastructure such as firewall configurations be recorded with details including the date, time, person responsible, and the business justification for the change. This creates an auditable trail that enables rollback, compliance verification, and accountability, which is exactly what the administrator is performing.
