A network automation engineer is writing a script to configure a new VLAN on multiple switches. The engineer wants the script to be independent of the device vendor and to use a structured data format. Which technology should the script use?

Vendor-specific CLI commands over SSH

REST API with proprietary JSON schemas

A startup is building a new data center network. They want to automate the entire lifecycle of network devices, from initial configuration to ongoing monitoring. They want to avoid vendor lock-in and be able to manage devices from different vendors with a single tool. Which foundational concept should they adopt?

A proprietary API from each vendor

Manual configuration with documentation

Model-driven programmability using standard YANG models

CLI scripting with vendor-specific commands

A network team is designing an automation solution for a multi-tenant environment. Each tenant has different configuration requirements, but the underlying network infrastructure is shared. They want to ensure that changes for one tenant do not affect others. Which aspect of model-driven programmability is most important to achieve this isolation?

Using a single global configuration for all tenants

Using YANG models that define tenant-specific configuration scopes and validating changes against them

Using SNMP to set tenant-specific OIDs

Using CLI commands that are known to be safe

A multi-vendor network uses devices from Cisco, Juniper, and Arista. The automation team wants to write a single script that can retrieve interface statistics from all devices without needing to know the vendor-specific CLI. Which technology makes this possible?

A custom API developed by each vendor

YANG data models accessed via NETCONF or RESTCONF

CLI scripting with regular expressions

A company is expanding from 50 to 500 network devices. The current process of configuring devices via CLI is becoming unmanageable. The team wants to adopt an approach that scales with the growth and reduces human error. Which benefit of model-driven programmability is most relevant here?

It eliminates the need for any network monitoring

It makes all devices run the same operating system

It requires fewer network engineers because devices configure themselves

It allows the same configuration template to be applied to many devices consistently
