Correct answers: B, C, D
Explanation
Cisco DNA Center's Intent APIs are designed to translate high-level business intents into actionable configurations and policies for the network. These APIs also ensure that the network state aligns with the defined intents, providing automation and validation capabilities. Actions like creating application policies, pushing configurations, and validating compliance are core functionalities of Intent APIs, while tasks like retrieving metrics or discovering device capabilities fall under other API categories.
- A. Incorrect.
Retrieving network health metrics is a monitoring task and is typically achieved using Assurance APIs, not Intent APIs.
- B. Correct.
Creating a new application policy aligns with the purpose of Intent APIs, as these APIs define and enforce high-level business intents.
- C. Correct.
Pushing configurations to devices based on their roles is a function of Intent APIs, as they help translate intent into specific configurations across the network.
- D. Correct.
Validating compliance of the network with the defined intent is a key feature of Intent APIs, ensuring the network operates as expected.
- E. Incorrect.
Generating a list of devices that support a specific feature is more related to inventory or device discovery APIs, not Intent APIs.
