In token-based authentication for a Cisco device REST API, what is the typical first step a client must perform?

Send a POST request to a login or token endpoint with credentials to obtain a token.

Generate a self-signed certificate and attach it to each request.

Include the username and password in every request's Authorization header.

Send a GET request to the device's root URL to receive a session cookie.

When a REST API response includes a JSON payload, what does the 'Content-Type' header typically indicate?

The authentication method used for the request

The format of the response body, such as application/json

The HTTP status code of the response

The size of the response body in bytes

In a Python script that uses the requests library to configure a Cisco device via RESTCONF, what does the following code snippet do?

It sends a PUT request to update the device's hostname configuration.

It sends a GET request to retrieve the device's hostname.

It sends a DELETE request to remove the hostname configuration.

It sends a POST request to create a new interface.

What does the principle of statelessness mean in the context of a REST API?

The server returns the same response for identical requests regardless of time.

The client must use the same TCP connection for all requests.

The server does not store any data about the client between requests.

The API cannot be used to change the state of the device.

In the REST API endpoint https://device.example.com/restconf/data/interfaces/interface=GigabitEthernet0/0/1?fields=name,status, what is the purpose of the query parameter 'fields'?

It specifies the version of the API to use.

It authenticates the client by providing an API key.

It specifies the HTTP method to use for the request.
