An administrator is preparing an organization for a potential disaster. The administrator configures the network switches and turns off the equipment in a data center. Which of the following is this scenario an example of?

A warm site is a location that is partially equipped with hardware and network configurations but not fully operational. In this scenario, the network switches have been configured and the equipment is present, though turned off. This fits the definition of a warm site, which contrasts with a cold site where no configurations are made and the site usually lacks necessary hardware.
Cold site don't have any hardware
The question implies that the switches are already in situ. If some of the hardware is on site already then this is a warm site.
a cold site equipment is not powered on or CONFIGURED. The tech configured the switch and then turned it off so therefor it is a warm site since he configured the switch
This is a warm site? from my understanding a cold site doesn't have any equipment in it.
Cold just means infrastructure (rent of a place) with no actual networking equipment inside
A. Switches were configured before turning off.
A. Warm site
A warm site takes 2-4 days to setup, this matches the time for a turned off switch network to boot up properly
Cold site: A cold site is a type of disaster recovery solution where a physical location is established to restore IT operations in the event of a disaster. However, the cold site is not fully operational or equipped with active systems. Instead, it provides the necessary physical infrastructure, such as space, power, and cooling, but the equipment is not powered on or configured. In case of a disaster, organizations would need to install and configure their hardware and systems at the cold site before resuming operations. In the scenario, the administrator is preparing for a potential disaster by configuring the network switches and having the equipment turned off. This aligns with the concept of a cold site, as the site is prepared but not fully operational until needed.
You literally posted saying a cold site equipment is not powered on or CONFIGURED. The tech configured the switch then turned it off so therefor it is a warm site since he configured the switch.
another badly worded question but it's a warm site. all configured then powered off, only to be spun up in a disaster. cold site has nothing in place.
cant be cold site for obvious reasons. but cannot be warm site either. the technician is simply configuring routers (possibly to point to the hot site) he is NOT moving the current data set which would be required for a warm site.
The answer is B. Cold site.
