Importance of configuration standards

Importance of configuration standards
3.2.1 This page explains why it is important to develop standards for configuration files within an organization.


Configuration standards can be used to control of the number of configuration files that must be maintained, how the files are stored, and where the files are stored.

A standard is a set of rules or procedures that are either widely used or officially specified. If an organization does not have standards, the network will be in chaos if a service interruption occurs.

Network management requires a centralized support standard. Configuration, security, performance, and other issues must be addressed for the network to function properly. The creation of standards for network consistency helps reduce network complexity, unplanned downtime, and events that may affect network performance.

The next page will discuss interface descriptions.
