A large enterprise has a Cisco DNA Center deployment and an ACI fabric. A Python script is being developed to automate the deployment of a new application that requires a new network segment on the ACI fabric and a new VLAN on the campus switches managed by DNA Center. The script must ensure that the network segment and VLAN are created in the correct order. Which approach should the script take?

Use RESTCONF on the APIC to create the ACI segment and the DNA Center API to create the VLAN.

Use the ACI API to create the network segment first, then use the DNA Center API to create the VLAN, since the campus VLAN may depend on the ACI segment.

Use the DNA Center API to create the VLAN first, then use the ACI API to create the network segment, since campus devices are more critical.

Use a single API call to create both the ACI segment and the DNA Center VLAN.

A Python script uses the Cisco Meraki API to automate a task. It calls GET /api/v1/organizations/{orgId}/networks/{networkId}/alerts/history to retrieve recent alert history. The script then filters for alerts with a severity of "critical" and sends a Slack message for each one. What is the workflow being automated?

Generating a report of network health scores

Configuring alert settings for the network

Monitoring network alerts and notifying on critical events

Provisioning new network devices

A Python script authenticates to Cisco DNA Center and then calls the 'assurance' API to retrieve the health score of all access points in a campus. The script then compares the scores against a threshold and, if any AP has a score below 60, it sends an email to the network team. Which workflow is being automated?

RESTCONF configuration retrieval

Assurance and health monitoring

A network team needs to automate the rollout of a new VLAN configuration to 200 access switches. The switches are a mix of Cisco Catalyst 9000 series running IOS XE and older Catalyst 2960 switches running IOS. The team wants to use a single Python script that leverages Cisco APIs to push the configuration. The script must be able to handle both device types without manual intervention. Which approach best satisfies the requirement?

Use Cisco DNA Center APIs to provision the VLAN configuration to all switches, relying on DNA Center's device abstraction.

Use the ACI REST API to push the VLAN configuration, since ACI can manage any switch.

Use the Meraki API to push the VLAN configuration, since Meraki supports all Cisco switches.

Use RESTCONF to push the VLAN configuration directly to each switch, since RESTCONF is supported on all Cisco switches.
