   An engineer is writing a script that uses the Cisco DNA Center SDK to automate configuration changes. The engineer wants to avoid hardcoding credentials in the script. The SDK documentation shows that the DNACenterAPI class accepts a 'username' and 'password' parameter. Which approach is the most secure and follows best practices?

   • AStore the credentials in a plain text file and read them at runtime.
   • BRead the username and password from environment variables and pass them to the DNACenterAPI constructor.
   • CHardcode the credentials in the script for simplicity.
   • DUse the SDK's default credential file feature.

   A developer is using the Cisco DNA Center SDK to retrieve device details. The script must handle cases where the device is not found and where the API rate limit is exceeded, without crashing. Which approach best meets these requirements?

   • ACheck the HTTP status code of the response and manually implement retry logic for all non-200 responses.
   • BWrap the SDK call in a try/except block that catches the generic Exception and prints the error message.
   • CUse the SDK's built-in retry mechanism and catch specific exceptions for not-found and rate-limit, logging each appropriately.
   • DUse a while loop that retries indefinitely until the call succeeds.

   A developer is using the Meraki SDK to retrieve a list of networks and then update the name of each network. The script fails with a 404 error on one of the networks. The developer suspects the network ID is incorrect. Which approach is the most efficient way to debug this?

   • ACatch the 404 exception, log the network ID that caused the error, and continue with the next network.
   • BStop the script immediately when the 404 occurs and print the full traceback.
   • CIgnore the 404 error and continue without logging.
   • DUse a debugger to step through the code line by line.
