Question

What are two advantages of controller-based networking compared with traditional networking?

Choose two

A controller-based increases network bandwidth usage, while traditional lightens the load on the network
B controller-based reduces network configuration complexity, while traditional increases the potential for errors
C controller-based allows for fewer network failures, while traditional increases failure rates
D controller-based provides centralization of key IT functions, while traditional requires distributed management functions
E controller-based inflates software costs, while traditional decreases individual licensing costs

Explanation

Controller-based networking uses centralized control and management, so administrators can define policy and configuration in one place instead of configuring many devices individually. This reduces operational complexity and lowers the chance of inconsistent manual configuration errors. It also centralizes important IT control and management functions, whereas traditional networking typically relies on distributed device-by-device management.
