During an audit of your network management practices, it is evident that multiple network configurations have been applied without proper documentation or version control. What immediate action should be recommended to ensure consistent deployment and easy rollback capabilities in the future?
Perform periodic backups of configurations without versioning.
Establish a protocol for manual version control tagging before any configuration change.
Automate the synchronization of network configurations to the central repository with detailed logging and version control.
Manually document changes in a shared spreadsheet at regular intervals.
