Exam 300-535 topic 1 question 24 discussion

The POST method creates a new resource, and if that resource already exists, a “409 Conflict” status line is returned. The PUT method also creates a resource, but unlike the POST method, PUT replaces a resource if it finds that it already exists. When a PUT method creates a resource, a “201 Created” response is sent back to the client. If the resource already exists and is replaced by the PUT request, a “204 No Content” response is sent back to the client The primary way to edit a resource is using the PATCH method. The PATCH method enables you to selectively edit the target resource.

PUT -> replace o create PATCH -> merge Solution: B

• GET: obtaining configuration or operational data • POST – create the data • PUT - update data , add or replace the complete data e.g. adding description to the interface. • PATCH : making a configuration change in the existing data. E.g. changing interface ip address. • DELETE: removing a particular configuration

it uses "requests.put" and therefore will replace the existing configuration for the Interface Gi2. My opinion is that option B is correct
