Correct answers: A, C
Explanation
To automate the onboarding of new network devices with Cisco DNA Center, you need to use APIs that either directly add devices to the network or utilize the Plug and Play (PnP) feature for device onboarding. The 'POST /dna/intent/api/v1/network-device' endpoint allows you to directly add a network device, while 'POST /dna/intent/api/v1/device-onboarding-pnp' is used for onboarding devices using the PnP feature. Other endpoints, such as those for retrieving topology or managing templates, are not relevant for this specific task.
- A. Correct.
This API endpoint is used to add a new network device to Cisco DNA Center for management, making it correct for onboarding tasks.
- B. Incorrect.
This API endpoint retrieves the site topology, which is not related to onboarding new devices.
- C. Correct.
This API endpoint is part of the Plug and Play (PnP) feature and is specifically designed for onboarding new devices, making it a valid choice.
- D. Incorrect.
This API endpoint retrieves information about already onboarded devices, which does not assist with onboarding new devices.
- E. Incorrect.
This API endpoint is used for managing templates in Cisco DNA Center, which is unrelated to the onboarding of devices.
