300-435 Question 289
Select 3You are tasked with developing an application that tracks the real-time location of devices within a Cisco-enabled enterprise environment. As part of this project, you need to retrieve device location data using the Cisco DNA Center Location Scanning API. Which of the following are key steps you must perform to successfully access and use the Location Scanning API?
- A
Obtain an API token from Cisco DNA Center to authenticate your requests.
- B
Ensure that the devices you are tracking have location services enabled on their endpoints.
- C
Send API requests to the '/api/v1/location-scanning' endpoint to retrieve location data.
- D
Enable the Location Scanning service in Cisco DNA Center and configure appropriate SSIDs.
- E
Directly connect to the devices via SSH to retrieve their location information.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C, D
Explanation
The Cisco DNA Center Location Scanning API is used to track the real-time location of devices by leveraging Cisco's wireless infrastructure. To use this API, you need to authenticate using an API token, enable the Location Scanning service in Cisco DNA Center, and configure the appropriate SSIDs. The API endpoint '/api/v1/location-scanning' is used to retrieve location data. Direct access to devices via SSH or requiring endpoint-specific location services is not necessary as the API operates through DNA Center's centralized capabilities.
- A. Correct.
Correct: An API token is required to authenticate all requests to the Cisco DNA Center APIs, including the Location Scanning API.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Location services on the endpoints themselves are not required for the Location Scanning API as it leverages Cisco wireless infrastructure for device tracking.
- C. Correct.
Correct: The '/api/v1/location-scanning' endpoint is the correct endpoint for accessing location data using the Location Scanning API.
- D. Correct.
Correct: The Location Scanning service must be enabled in Cisco DNA Center, and SSIDs must be configured to support location tracking.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect: The Location Scanning API does not require direct SSH access to devices; it works through Cisco DNA Center's centralized management.
