Exam 400-007 topic 1 question 104 discussion

Optimize: Involves proactive management of the network. The goal of proactive management is to identify and resolve issues before they affect the organization. Reactive fault detection and correction (troubleshooting) is needed when proactive management cannot predict and mitigate failures. In the PPDIOO process, the optimization phase can prompt a network redesign if too many network problems and errors arise, if performance does not meet expectations, or if new applications are identified to support organizational and technical requirements. https://www.ciscopress.com/articles/article.asp?p=1608131&seqNum=3

In the PPDIOO process, the optimization phase can prompt 1. a network redesign if too many network problems and errors arise, if performance does not meet expectations, or 2. if new applications are identified to support organizational and technical requirements.

C. proactive network management: network optimization involves proactive management to improve network performance before problems occur. This improves network efficiency and prevents potential problems before they occur. D. NETWORK HEALTH MAINTENANCE: Maintaining network health is a key component of optimization. Regular monitoring and maintenance will ensure network stability and performance, minimizing downtime and outages.

Answer C/D: focus on ongoing efforts to improve and maintain the efficiency, reliability, and performance of the network, which are central to the concept of network optimization.

Proactive Network Management: Proactive network management involves continuously monitoring the network to identify and resolve issues before they impact performance. This includes using network monitoring tools to track traffic patterns, detect anomalies, and perform predictive analysis to prevent potential problems. Proactive management ensures that the network runs efficiently and can adapt to changing demands, thereby optimizing overall network performance. Network Health Maintenance: Network health maintenance focuses on regularly assessing and maintaining the network to ensure it operates optimally. This includes routine checks, updates, and maintenance tasks that keep the network infrastructure in good condition. It involves monitoring the network's health, identifying potential issues, and performing necessary adjustments or repairs to maintain optimal performance and reliability.

D, E. Network optimization is a set of tools and techniques used to improve network performance and reliability, So when asking "descriptions" of it , they are "Operation" , not "Design".

Identify Network Requirements -> Proactive Maintenance -> evaluate if a redesign is mandatory or a change in current design would suffice. since this is the correct chronological order i opt to Answers A&C while i totally agree with all B&C comments. Answers A&C

CD is the answer

I will stick to DE. network redesign is a potential outcome of the optimization process.

I will select B and E (Network redesign and Maintain High Availability) From CCDE Study Guide: Similarly, with IT network infrastructure design, there are always new technologies or broken designs that were not planned well to scale or adapt to business and technology changes. Therefore, network designers must analyze business issues, requirements, and the current design to plan and develop a solution that can optimize the overall existing architecture. This optimization might involve the redesign of some parts of the network (for example, WAN), or it might involve adding a new data center to optimize BC plans

I rather see this as CD, proactive network monitoring/management/maintenance are part of network optimisation goals
