To ensure the Python code runs successfully, the environment variable WEBEX_TEAMS_ACCESS_TOKEN must be set. This can be done using the export command in a Bash script.

A. define WEBEX_TEAMS_ACCESS_TOKEN=your_access_token_here - Incorrect. define is not a valid Bash command for setting environment variables. B. export WEBEX_TEAMS_ACCESS_TOKEN=your_access_token_here - Correct. This command correctly sets the environment variable for the current session. C. set WEBEX_TEAMS_ACCESS_TOKEN=your_access_token_here - Incorrect. set is not used in this context for setting environment variables in Bash. D. WEBEX_TEAMS_ACCESS_TOKEN=your_access_token_here - Incorrect. This command sets the variable but does not export it to be available to child processes.

The provided documentation outlines how to use Basic HTTP Authentication with the Cisco AMP API. The correct method involves encoding the client ID and API key in base64 format and then including them in the authorization header. However, in the given scripts, the use of the requests library’s auth parameter directly with the client ID and API key is also a valid method.

Option A correctly uses the requests library to make an API call with the client ID and API key. This method is supported and valid as per the documentation.

python

Copy code

import requests

amp_client_id = 'alb2c3d4e5f6g7h8i9j0'

amp_login_password = 'l0g1n_p@ssw0rd'

url = 'https://api.amp.cisco.com/v1/version '

request = requests.get(url,

auth=(amp_client_id, amp_login_password))

print(request.json())

Client ID and API Key: amp_client_id and amp_login_password are set with the values provided.

URL: The URL for the AMP API endpoint is correctly set.

GET Request: The requests.get method is used with the auth parameter that takes a tuple of the client ID and API key.

Response: The response is printed in JSON format.

Option B:

Does not use the auth parameter or a header for Basic Authentication, thus it will fail.

Option C:

Uses a single amp_auth_token which does not follow the provided documentation method.

Option D:

Incorrectly uses the auth parameter with a concatenated client ID and API key without specifying Basic Authentication in the header.

SSH (Secure Shell) is a protocol that provides a secure channel over an unsecured network by using encryption. It operates over TCP port 22 and is commonly used for remote login and command execution on network devices and servers. SSH ensures secure communication between the client and server by encrypting the session.
