300-435 Question 167
Single answerA network engineer is tasked with automating the deployment of new VLAN configurations across a Cisco SD-Access fabric. The engineer decides to use Cisco DNA Center's Intent APIs. Which API method would most effectively allow the engineer to define and apply these VLAN configurations?
- A
POST /dna/intent/api/v1/network-device
- B
POST /dna/intent/api/v1/site
- C
POST /dna/intent/api/v1/business/sda/vlan
- D
GET /dna/intent/api/v1/topology/site-topology
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Cisco DNA Center's Intent APIs provide a programmatic way to implement intent-based networking. The 'POST /dna/intent/api/v1/business/sda/vlan' API is specifically designed for managing VLAN configurations within SD-Access environments. This allows the engineer to automate and centralize the deployment of VLANs, aligning with the principles of intent-based networking.
- A. Incorrect.
This API is used for managing network devices, such as retrieving information or adding devices, but it is not specific to VLAN configuration within an SD-Access fabric.
- B. Incorrect.
This API is used for managing site hierarchies and site-related configurations but does not directly deal with VLAN configurations in SD-Access.
- C. Correct.
This is the correct API method for defining and applying VLAN configurations within a Cisco SD-Access deployment. It allows the automation of VLAN-related tasks in alignment with intent-based networking.
- D. Incorrect.
This API retrieves topology information and is unrelated to configuring VLANs in an SD-Access fabric.
