A network admin is troubleshooting why an automated script that uses 'show running-config' and regex parsing fails on a new switch model. The script worked on older models. What is the most likely reason for the failure?

The script is not using a YANG model

The new switch model uses a different CLI output format

The script is not using a fast enough programming language

The switch does not support SSH

A service provider must ensure that all customer-facing routers comply with a new security baseline. The baseline includes specific settings for SSH, NTP, and logging. The team wants to automatically detect any router that drifts from the baseline and generate a report. Which combination of model-driven programmability features is most effective?

Use model-driven telemetry for configuration changes

Retrieve configuration via NETCONF and compare against a YANG-based desired state

Use CLI scripts to capture and diff configs

Use SNMP to poll configuration objects

A network operations team is experiencing frequent outages caused by human error during manual configuration changes. They want to implement a system that reduces the likelihood of errors and provides a rollback mechanism if a change causes issues. Which approach best leverages model-driven programmability to achieve this?

Use a model-driven configuration management system that validates changes against YANG models and supports transactional rollback

Use a script that backs up the running config before each change and restores it if the device becomes unreachable

Require two engineers to manually review every CLI command before it is executed

Use SNMP to make changes and rely on the device's native error handling

Which of the following is a use case where model-driven programmability is particularly valuable?

Replacing the need for any network monitoring tools.

Providing a manual checklist for engineers to follow.

Increasing the physical security of data centers.

Network telemetry, where devices stream structured state data to a monitoring system.

A service provider must ensure that customer configurations comply with regulatory standards. They need to audit configurations quarterly and produce a report. They also want to detect any unauthorized changes between audits. Which approach using model-driven programmability is most effective?

Use model-driven telemetry to stream configuration changes in real time and store them for compliance reporting

Use SNMP traps to detect configuration changes

Use CLI scripts to snapshot configurations quarterly and compare them manually

Use a configuration management tool that only pushes configs but does not monitor changes

Part of the 5.0 Infrastructure and Automation domain, which accounts for 20% of the 200-901 exam. Cisco does not publish an official question count, but from its 120-minute exam (~50–80 total, ~10–16 in this domain), expect 1–1 from this objective — we provide 46 practice questions to prepare you well beyond it.
