Device Onboarding and Provisioning API
- B
Policy Management API
- C
Telemetry and Monitoring API
- D
Authentication and Authorization API
- E
Network Discovery API
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B
Explanation
Cisco DNA Center's Intent APIs provide a suite of tools for automating network tasks. To achieve the objectives of automated device provisioning and consistent policy enforcement, the Device Onboarding and Provisioning API and the Policy Management API are the most appropriate. The other APIs mentioned serve different purposes, such as monitoring, access management, or device discovery, which do not directly address the scenario's requirements.
- A. Correct.
The Device Onboarding and Provisioning API is used to automate the configuration and deployment of network devices, aligning with the goal of automating provisioning.
- B. Correct.
The Policy Management API is responsible for creating and enforcing consistent policies across the network, which matches the requirement for consistent policy enforcement.
- C. Incorrect.
The Telemetry and Monitoring API is primarily used for collecting network performance data and does not directly provision devices or enforce policies.
- D. Incorrect.
The Authentication and Authorization API is used for managing user and application access, which is unrelated to the provisioning or policy enforcement objectives in this scenario.
- E. Incorrect.
The Network Discovery API is used to discover devices in the network but does not handle provisioning or policy enforcement.
