A network administrator is preparing new switches that will be deployed to support a network extension project. The lead network engineer has already provided documentation to ensure the switches are set up properly. Which of the following did the engineer most likely provide?
The lead network engineer likely provided baseline configurations. Baseline configurations are standard or reference configurations that serve as a starting point for configuring network devices such as switches. These configurations typically include settings for network protocols, security, and other operational parameters. When deploying new switches, starting with a baseline configuration ensures consistency and proper setup across the network.
Not A because since the question states 'set up properly' so we need to look at this logically. Not C since the switch is not yet active which means you can't measure the baseline performance
It is C
Baseline configurations are standard or reference configurations that serve as a starting point for configuring network devices such as switches. These configurations typically include settings for network protocols, security, and other operational parameters. When deploying new switches, it’s common to start with a baseline configuration to ensure consistency across the network.
I believe it's not D because Logical Network Diagram is an OSI layer 3 topic and in reference to switches it would be layer 2 unless specified a layer 3 switch. Thus making Baseline Configs the key bit of information needed.
My apologies, it is D (refer to Professor Messer)
