Correct answers: A, B, E
Explanation
To implement Cisco DNA Center event outbound webhooks, you must configure a webhook destination (URL) in DNA Center, enable the desired event notifications in the Event Catalog, and verify connectivity by testing the webhook. These steps ensure that DNA Center can send event notifications to the external system. Authentication and specific webhook clients depend on the external system's configuration, but they are not mandatory for the DNA Center configuration.
- A. Correct.
Creating a webhook destination and specifying the external system's URL is a mandatory step to configure outbound webhooks in Cisco DNA Center.
- B. Correct.
Enabling the required event notifications in the Event Catalog allows Cisco DNA Center to trigger the webhook for specific events.
- C. Incorrect.
Configuring an authentication token is not required for the webhook itself; however, you may configure authentication depending on the external system's requirements.
- D. Incorrect.
Cisco DNA Center does not require a Cisco-provided webhook client. The external system must simply be able to receive and process HTTP POST requests.
- E. Correct.
Testing the webhook configuration ensures connectivity and proper delivery of event notifications to the external system.
