Cisco 300-635 - Automating Cisco Data Center Solutions (DCAUTO)

To create an SVI using NX-API CLI JSON-RPC interface, one would typically need to construct a Python dictionary that represents the RPC payload containing the necessary commands. The request call would then be made using a library like requests where this dictionary is passed as JSON data. In general terms, without specifying exact options since they are not visible in any provided resources or within my capabilities:

One option would likely involve specifying parameters for creating an SVI including its ID number.

Another option might involve setting specific attributes for the SVI such as name, description, or IP address. References :=

To access the REST API browser within Cisco UCS Director, one must enable the Developer menu from the Cisco UCS Director interface. After enabling this option, select ‘Orchestration’ and then choose ‘REST API Browser’. This allows users to interact with the various APIs provided by Cisco UCS Director for automation and orchestration purposes. References: Cisco UCS Director REST API Guide

Step 1 : The switch searches for a Domain Host Configuration Protocol service on the network

Step 2 : DHCP assigns the switch an IP Address, default gateway, and IP address that are tracked by the Domain Name System server.

Step 3 : POAP gets the IP address of a script server, downloads the correct script for the switch, and runs the script on the switch.

REST, or Representational State Transfer, is an architectural style that is characterized by its stateless nature, meaning each request from a client to a server must contain all the information needed to understand and complete the request without relying on any stored context on the server. This increases reliability and scalability. However, ‘stateful’ is not a guiding principle of REST; instead, it is ‘statelessness’ that is a core principle. The other main guiding principles include a uniform interface, cacheability, and a layered system

 The code snippet is intended to configure VLAN 10 in Cisco UCS. After creating the VLAN object and adding it with handle.add_mo(newvlan), it is essential to commit the changes to the UCS Manager for them to take effect. This is done by invoking handle.commit(). Without this step, the changes will not be saved, and VLAN 10 will not be configured.

Cisco UCS Manager API Reference Guide

 To update the firmware on a specific Cisco UCS rack server managed by Cisco Intersight using a Python script, the script must include a GET request to retrieve the server with the specified AssetTag and then update the firmware JSON body with the server’s Managed Object ID (Moid). The correct statements to complete this task would be:

A GET request that queries the Intersight API for the server with the given AssetTag (Option A).

An update to the firmware JSON body dictionary, setting the ‘Server’ key to the ‘Moid’ value obtained from the GET request response (Option D).

The API GET request to the ACI APIC is used to read information from a managed object (B) and an object class (D), which represents specific types of managed objects within ACI’s object model. It does not create new interfaces (A) and the response format (C, E) cannot be determined from the URL alone. References: Cisco Data Center Automation
