New Release 200-901 Cisco Certified DevNet Associate Questions

The Python script in the exhibit interacts with Cisco DNA Center APIs to query devices and execute commands. It collects the results of specific show commands from the devices.

Device Query: The script first queries for devices with the platformId of 'C9500-40X'.

Command Execution: It sends commands (show version, show ip int brief) to these devices.

Result Gathering: The script retrieves and processes the results of the executed commands.

Option A accurately describes the process automated by the script, which is to gather the results of the show version and show ip int brief commands.

JSON and XML are both used for data interchange, but they have differences in functionality:

JSON: JavaScript Object Notation natively supports arrays and other data structures like objects (dictionaries in Python). JSON is known for being lightweight and easy to parse and is often considered more human-readable due to its simple syntax.

XML: eXtensible Markup Language does not natively support arrays in the same straightforward manner as JSON. Instead, arrays in XML need to be represented using repeated elements, which can be more verbose and complex. XML is highly flexible and supports defining custom tags, but it is generally more complex and less human-readable compared to JSON.

Therefore, JSON's native support for arrays makes it simpler and more efficient for certain data structures compared to XML.

The bash script shown in the exhibit automates the process of downloading, extracting, compiling, installing, and configuring the Cisco DevNet application. It also enables and starts the application automatically.

Download and Extract: The script uses curl to download a tar.gz file and then extracts it using tar -zxf.

Compilation and Installation: The ./configure && make && make install commands compile and install the application.

Enabling and Starting the Service: The systemctl enable devnet and systemctl start devnet commands ensure the application starts automatically on system boot and starts it immediately.

Option B correctly describes the workflow as it includes compilation, installation, configuration, and automatic startup of the application.

The sequence diagram shows the process where the API client first calls the /organizations endpoint to get the list of organization IDs. Then, for each organization, it makes a call to the /organizations/(orgId)/networks endpoint to retrieve the networks for that organization. Since there are two organizations, the GetAllNetworks function will make two parallel calls to the /organizations/(orgId)/networks endpoint, one for each organization.
