A network automation engineer is using a REST API to update the configuration of a switch. The API returns HTTP 405 Method Not Allowed. The engineer confirms the URL is correct and the switch is reachable. What is the most likely cause of this response?

The API request was not authenticated, so the server rejected the method.

The API endpoint does not support the HTTP method that was used.

The request body was malformed and could not be parsed.

The switch does not have the requested configuration object.
