Single answerAn enterprise network administrator needs to automate the retrieval of device health statistics from their Cisco SD-WAN environment. Which features and capabilities of the Cisco SD-WAN vManage APIs should the administrator leverage?
- A
RESTful APIs that provide access to operational data and statistics
- B
GraphQL APIs for querying multiple data sources in a single request
- C
Real-time streaming telemetry for continuous data updates
- D
Authentication using API tokens for secure access
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Cisco SD-WAN vManage APIs are RESTful APIs designed to provide programmatic access to operational data, configuration, and statistics. These APIs allow administrators to automate tasks such as retrieving device health statistics. The other options either do not apply to vManage APIs or are unrelated to retrieving health statistics specifically.
- A. Correct.
Correct. Cisco SD-WAN vManage APIs are RESTful APIs that allow the retrieval of operational data, including device health statistics, making them suitable for automation tasks.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Cisco SD-WAN vManage APIs are not GraphQL-based; they use RESTful architecture for API interactions.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. While streaming telemetry may provide real-time updates, it is not a feature of Cisco SD-WAN vManage APIs. Instead, it is related to other telemetry mechanisms.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect. While authentication using API tokens ensures secure access, it is not directly related to the retrieval of device health statistics.
