200-901 Question 154
Select 3You are a network engineer configuring a hybrid network environment that uses Cisco ACI for data center operations, Cisco Meraki for branch networks, and Cisco DNA Center for network automation. To retrieve and update configuration data programmatically from these platforms, which protocol or API should you use?
- A
RESTCONF for Cisco ACI
- B
REST API for Cisco Meraki
- C
RESTCONF for Cisco DNA Center
- D
Cisco DNA Center Intent API
- E
REST API for Cisco ACI
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, D
Explanation
In a hybrid network environment using Cisco ACI, Cisco Meraki, and Cisco DNA Center, different protocols and APIs are used to programmatically manage these platforms. Cisco ACI supports RESTCONF for its configuration and operational data, Cisco Meraki provides a REST API for cloud-managed networks, and Cisco DNA Center offers an Intent API for network automation and orchestration. Knowing the correct API or protocol for each platform is critical for successful integration and automation.
- A. Correct.
Correct. Cisco ACI supports RESTCONF for programmatic access to its configuration and operational data.
- B. Correct.
Correct. Cisco Meraki provides a REST API for interacting with its cloud-managed infrastructure.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. RESTCONF is not used for Cisco DNA Center; instead, it uses its own Intent API.
- D. Correct.
Correct. Cisco DNA Center provides an Intent API for automation and orchestration tasks.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Cisco ACI primarily uses RESTCONF, not a generic REST API, for configuration and operational management.
