Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The Device Onboarding via Plug and Play (PnP) feature in Cisco DNA Center is specifically designed to simplify the addition of new devices to the network. It automates the provisioning process by pushing configurations and policies to the devices as soon as they are connected, making it the correct choice for this scenario.
- A. Correct.
Device Onboarding via Plug and Play (PnP) allows for zero-touch provisioning of network devices, enabling them to automatically receive configurations and policies when added to the network.
- B. Incorrect.
Network Assurance is used for monitoring and verifying network performance and does not handle device onboarding or automatic configuration.
- C. Incorrect.
Application Policy Management is focused on creating and managing application-based policies for traffic prioritization and does not directly handle device onboarding.
- D. Incorrect.
Software Image Management (SWIM) is used for automating software image upgrades and compliance but does not handle the initial configuration of new devices.
