300-435 Question 275
Single answerYou are responsible for troubleshooting a Cisco SD-WAN deployment. A network administrator reports that a branch office router is not receiving the latest security policy updates. Using the vManage APIs, you identify that the router is not listed in the 'connected' devices of the vManage inventory. Which API endpoint would you use to confirm if the router is recognized by the vManage system but is currently disconnected?
- A
/device
- B
/device/control/connections
- C
/device/reachable
- D
/device/monitor/status
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The '/device/control/connections' endpoint is the most appropriate API to use in this scenario because it provides specific information about the control connections of SD-WAN devices. This allows you to determine whether the router is recognized by vManage but is not establishing control connections, which could explain the issue with receiving updates.
- A. Incorrect.
The '/device' endpoint provides a summary of all devices in the SD-WAN fabric but does not give detailed control connection information.
- B. Correct.
The '/device/control/connections' endpoint provides detailed information about the control connections of devices in the SD-WAN fabric, helping to identify if a device is recognized but disconnected.
- C. Incorrect.
The '/device/reachable' endpoint checks whether devices are reachable via ICMP or other protocols but does not confirm their connection to the control plane.
- D. Incorrect.
The '/device/monitor/status' endpoint gives device status information for general monitoring but does not provide detailed control connection insights.
