300-435 Question 199
Single answerYou are tasked with automating the deployment of a new branch site within your Cisco SD-WAN environment. Using the Site APIs, you aim to create a new site, assign it to a device template, and ensure it is properly categorized for policy application. Which step is NOT typically part of this process when using the Site APIs?
- A
Retrieve the list of existing sites to avoid duplication during creation.
- B
Use the Site API to create a new site with a unique site ID.
- C
Assign an IP address to the site directly using the Site API.
- D
Categorize the site by associating it with a site group for policy application.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The Site APIs in Cisco SD-WAN are designed to manage site-level configurations such as creating new sites, categorizing them, and associating them with site groups for policy enforcement. However, assigning IP addresses is outside the scope of the Site API functionality and is instead managed at the device or template configuration level.
- A. Incorrect.
Retrieving the list of existing sites is a best practice to avoid creating duplicate site entries, which could disrupt automation workflows.
- B. Incorrect.
Creating a new site with a unique site ID is a fundamental purpose of the Site API and is an essential step in deploying a new branch site.
- C. Correct.
Assigning an IP address directly to a site is not a function of the Site API. IP address assignment is typically handled at the device or template level, not the site level.
- D. Incorrect.
Associating the site with a site group is a valid use of the Site API, as it helps in applying relevant policies to the new branch site.
