200-901 Question 155
Select 3You are tasked with automating network configurations across a hybrid environment that includes Cisco ACI, Meraki, and Cisco DNA Center. Your goal is to retrieve VLAN configurations from Cisco DNA Center and push updates to Meraki devices using an API. Additionally, you need to ensure that RESTCONF is used for managing configurations on ACI. Which combination of tools or protocols should you use to achieve this?
- A
Use Cisco DNA Center APIs to retrieve VLAN configurations
- B
Use the Meraki Dashboard API to push updates to Meraki devices
- C
Use RESTCONF to retrieve VLAN configurations from Cisco DNA Center
- D
Use RESTCONF to manage configurations on Cisco ACI
- E
Use Cisco ACI APIs instead of RESTCONF for managing configurations on ACI
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, D
Explanation
To automate this hybrid environment, you need to use the correct APIs and protocols for each system. Cisco DNA Center APIs are used to retrieve VLAN configurations, while the Meraki Dashboard API is used for pushing updates to Meraki devices. For Cisco ACI, RESTCONF is the specified protocol for managing configurations in this scenario. Understanding the appropriate tools and protocols for each platform is critical for effective network automation.
- A. Correct.
Correct. Cisco DNA Center provides APIs that allow you to retrieve information, such as VLAN configurations, programmatically.
- B. Correct.
Correct. The Meraki Dashboard API is the recommended method for automating configurations and updates to Meraki devices.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. RESTCONF is not used to interact with Cisco DNA Center; you would use Cisco DNA Center's APIs for that purpose.
- D. Correct.
Correct. RESTCONF is a valid protocol for managing configurations on Cisco ACI when interacting with its REST API.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect. While Cisco ACI does have its own APIs, RESTCONF is explicitly mentioned in the scenario as the required protocol for managing ACI configurations.
