Exam 350-701 topic 1 question 487 discussion

https://developer.cisco.com/docs/dna-center/#!device-provisioning/device-provisioning-guide The question is poorly worded, I guess it asks how to provision (discover & add) a device into DNAC. According to this doc, it is indeed using GET + serial .

In my logic, adding a device can only be a POST method. I do not see "name" as a correct attribute, but at least the method is the right one. Check the diagram for device provisioning: https://developer.cisco.com/docs/dna-center/device-provisioning/#goal Add Device to Site with POST. https://developer.cisco.com/docs/dna-center/device-onboarding/#onboarding-pnp-api response = requests.post

Would have to vote C here for the following reason: The GET API call is primarily used for RETRIEVAL of information from a server or specified resource. When you send a GET request to a server, for example, you are asking it to PROVIDE you with data. Whereas, with the POST API call, this is primarily used for ADDING or CREATING a resource on the server/device. The "name", in this particular instance, can refer to the hostname of the device.

"are used to ADD a device " ... GET requests doesnt do this. You need to at a minimum PUT or in this case... POST. The answer is clearly C.

Get is for read. Post is for write so C should be the right one

C is correct . To onboard/add a device use POST and device attributes name is one of them and of course serial... https://developer.cisco.com/docs/dna-center/#!device-onboarding/onboarding-pnp-api

GET /dna/intent/api/v1/network-device/serial-number/{serial_number} https://developer.cisco.com/docs/dna-center/#!device-provisioning/endpoints-and-methods-used

As per the links provided by others who say A is the answer: - GET + serial is one of many API methods/attributes used. - POST + name isn't.

The answer from a logic perspective seems to be C, but from this URL, specifically from the diagram, you can see that the answer is A: https://developer.cisco.com/docs/dna-center/#!device-provisioning/goal The question is about method AND required attribute. The option C would be right if the attribute would be "site_id". What do you people think?

o add a device into Cisco DNA Center with the native API, you can use the POST method with the /dna/intent/api/v1/network-device endpoint. The required attributes that must be included in the request body are: hostname: The hostname of the device ipAddress: The IP address of the device siteId: The ID of the site where the device is located type: The type of the device (e.g. switch, router, wireless access point) serialNumber: The serial number of the device

I checked Cisco documentation, it's C: To add a device into Cisco DNA Center with the native API, the API method used is POST which creates a new resource. One of the required attribute to add a device is the "name" attribute, which is used to specify the name of the device being added. The device name should be unique and it's used to identify the device within the Cisco DNA Center platform. A GET request is used to retrieve information from a resource. "SerialNumber" and "userSudiSerialNos" are attributes used to identify a device but they are not required to add a device into Cisco DNA Center, they are needed to retrieve a specific device information. "lastSyncTime" is an attribute used to indicate when the device last synced with Cisco DNA Center, it's not required to add a device. "pid" is an attribute used to identify a device's product ID, and it's not required to add a device.

C is correct

We use POST to send commands to the server. With GET we request information from the server. C should be the correct answer.

It is C

For me it's C Create (Créer) : POST (Publier) Update (Mettre à jour) : PUT (Mettre) Action CRUD : Verbe HTTP associé Read (Lire) : GET (Obtenir)
