A network automation script sends a POST request to a controller to create a new access list. The controller accepts the request and begins processing it asynchronously. The script receives HTTP 202 Accepted. What does this response indicate?

The server is temporarily unavailable.

The request was accepted for processing, but the access list may not be fully created yet.

The access list was created successfully and is now active.

The request was rejected due to invalid syntax.

A network automation script is trying to retrieve a list of all interfaces from a switch using a REST API. The API returns HTTP 401 Unauthorized. The script is using the correct URL. What is the most likely cause of this response?

The script is missing a valid authentication token or the token has expired.

The authenticated user lacks permission to view interfaces.

The switch does not have any interfaces.

The API endpoint does not support the GET method.

A network engineer is troubleshooting a script that uses a REST API to download device configurations. The script receives a 302 Found response. The script is not following the redirect automatically. What should the engineer do?

Update the script to follow the redirect using the Location header.

Change the HTTP method from GET to POST.

Report the issue to the API provider because 302 is a server error.

Ignore the redirect and use the cached version of the configuration.

A network automation platform submits a request to a REST API to reboot a switch. The API accepts the request and begins the reboot process asynchronously. The API responds with 202 Accepted. What does this response indicate to the client?

The client is not authorized to perform the reboot.

The request was malformed and rejected.

The request has been accepted for processing, but the reboot is not yet complete; the client should poll a status endpoint.

The reboot has completed successfully.

A network engineer is using a REST API to manage access control lists (ACLs) on a router. The engineer sends a DELETE request to remove an ACL, but receives a 403 Forbidden response. The engineer has successfully deleted other ACLs earlier. What is the most likely cause?

The engineer's token has expired.

The ACL is in use by an interface, and the API prevents deletion of in-use ACLs.
