A closet audit finds undocumented switches bridging segments in city hall. Which asset-management activity most directly finds such shadow devices?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Shadow switches in a closet do not introduce themselves. Inventory and enumeration—actually looking and scanning—are how you find gear nobody ticketed. Deleting the register or trusting hallway rumors just keeps the surprise party going.
Full Explanation
Maintaining inventory and performing enumeration or continuous asset discovery identifies unmanaged devices that bypass change control. Removing records, accepting verbal assurance, or waiting for outages leaves shadow infrastructure undetected. Finding undocumented switches through inventory and monitoring is a Domain 4.2 monitoring and asset-tracking practice.
