City standards require DHCP logs retained for device identity audits during ZTP. What operational value does that logging provide?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
DHCP logs are the city clerk’s receipt book for who got which address and boot pointers during ZTP. Audits use them to prove bring-up accountability—not to replace config backups or auto-fix bad role files. Keep the logs; they tell the deployment story.
Full Explanation
Retaining DHCP logs during ZTP supports operational audit: correlating device identifiers with leases and options delivered at bring-up. That accountability does not replace configuration backup, prove overlay VNI state, or auto-correct mis-mapped configs. Municipal standards that require retention align with controlled deployment practice on the management network.
