300-435 Question 267
Select 3You are tasked with automating the addition of a new branch office to an existing Cisco SD-WAN fabric. To achieve this, you plan to use the vManage Configuration APIs. Which steps must you automate using these APIs to successfully add the branch site and configure it within the SD-WAN fabric?
- A
Create a template for the branch router and attach it to the device.
- B
Use the API to register the branch router's serial number in the vManage system.
- C
Configure OMP (Overlay Management Protocol) settings on the branch router using the vManage API.
- D
Push the control policy changes to vSmart using the vManage API.
- E
Verify the operational status of the branch router using the vManage API.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, E
Explanation
When automating the addition of a branch office to Cisco SD-WAN using Configuration APIs, it is essential to create and attach a device template, register the router's serial number with vManage, and verify its operational status. These steps ensure the branch is correctly integrated into the SD-WAN fabric and operational. Configuring OMP settings and pushing control policies are related to broader SD-WAN management and are not directly relevant to branch onboarding.
- A. Correct.
Correct: When adding a new branch, you need to create and attach a device template for the branch router. This ensures consistent device configuration across the SD-WAN fabric.
- B. Correct.
Correct: The branch router's serial number must be registered in vManage to establish a trust relationship during the onboarding process.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect: OMP settings are typically predefined in the SD-WAN fabric via templates or policies and do not need to be configured directly for a new branch during onboarding.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Control policies are not directly related to onboarding a new branch router. These policies manage traffic flow and are configured separately.
- E. Correct.
Correct: Verifying the operational status of the branch router ensures that it has successfully joined the SD-WAN fabric and is functioning properly.
