AB Network management and troubleshooting require not only a grasp of advanced conceptsbut also the development of analytical and problem-solving skills. To bridge this gap, this paper introducesa novel network administration system, DRACSC (Spanish acronym for device for automaticrecovery and configuration of communication systems), designed for the automatic configurationand disaster recovery of communication equipment. This system transcends the limitations of currenthardware and software solutions by combining their advantages, boasting portability, automatedfunctions, and a cloud-based repository as its main features. The DRACSC system, undergoing acomprehensive large-scale evaluation involving diverse user groups across multiple institutions, wastested with 89 users, including students and teachers at educational centers and ICT (Informationand Communication Technology) professionals. The benefits of the system were evaluated through atraining program based on simulated real-world ICT environments, focusing on both quantitativeresults on the reduction in time to complete user tasks, as well as qualitative results on the interfaceand usability of the system. Statistical analysis, includingWelch’s t-test on opinion surveys, indicateda significant increase in knowledge and understanding, demonstrating the system’s potential toenhance education and practice. Moreover, the evaluation shed light on the user experience, withpositive impacts observed for learning and teaching implications. As a result, the study has verifiedthat the system has the potential to significantly influence network management practices, enhancingboth learning and professional application through improved efficiency and usability
