300-435 Question 316
Single answerYou are tasked with automating the deployment of a new branch office network using Cisco Meraki APIs. The branch requires a new network to be created, with a specific name, and the organization's existing template configuration applied to it. Which sequence of API calls would achieve this?
- A
- Use 'Create Network' API to create the network, then use 'Bind Network to Template' API to bind the new network to a template.
- B
- Use 'Bind Network to Template' API directly to create and bind the network simultaneously.
- C
- Use 'Create Organization' API to create a new organization, then use 'Create Network' API to create the network.
- D
- Use 'List Networks' API to find an existing network, then modify its configuration using the 'Update Network' API.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
To automate the deployment of a new branch office network using Cisco Meraki APIs, the correct approach is to first create the network using the 'Create Network' API. Once the network is created, it must be associated with a predefined template using the 'Bind Network to Template' API. This ensures that the new network is configured consistently with the organization's existing standards.
- A. Correct.
Correct. To automate the deployment of a new branch, you first create the network using the 'Create Network' API and then bind it to an existing template using the 'Bind Network to Template' API. This is the correct sequence for such a task.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect. The 'Bind Network to Template' API cannot create a network. It only binds an already created network to a template.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. The 'Create Organization' API is used to create an entirely new organization, not to create networks within an existing organization. This does not satisfy the scenario requirements.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect. The 'List Networks' API is used to retrieve existing networks, and the 'Update Network' API modifies an existing network's configuration. This approach does not create a new network or bind it to a template.
