One of the benefits of controller-based networks over traditional networks is that the configuration on the devices have fewer errors, and you spent less time troubleshooting the network.

(A) TRUE
(B) FALSE

TRUE is the correct answer.

A network controller is software that orchestrates network functions. It serves as an intermediary between the business and the network infrastructure. The organization enters their desired business objectives into the controller which in turn sets up the network to deliver on those objectives. Network controllers do their jobs by:

1. Maintaining an inventory of devices in the network and their status.
2. Automating device operations such as configurations and image updates resulting in more consistent device configuration, fewer errors, and less time spent troubleshooting the network.
3. Analyzing network operations, identifying potential issues, and suggesting remediations.
4. Providing a platform for integration with other applications such as reporting systems.
