An engineer needs to write a Python script that runs on a Nexus switch (on-box) to retrieve the interface status of all interfaces and print the ones that are administratively down. Which approach is most appropriate?

Use the 'cli' function from the 'nxos' module to execute 'show interface status' and parse the output.

Use the 'json' module to read the running configuration and parse the interface states.

Use the 'requests' library to call the NX-API REST endpoint.

Use the 'subprocess' module to run 'show interface status' as a shell command.

A Python script running on a Nexus switch needs to retrieve the hostname of the device. Which built-in module or library should the script use?

The 'platform' module with the 'node()' function.

The 'socket' module with the 'gethostname()' function.

The 'nxos' module with the 'hostname()' function.

The 'os' module with the 'uname()' function.

A developer is writing a Python script to run in the Guest Shell on a Nexus switch. The script needs to execute a CLI command and parse the output. The developer wants to use the 'cli' function from the 'nxos' module. However, the script is failing with an import error. What is the most likely cause?

The 'nxos' module is not available in the Guest Shell Python environment.

The 'cli' function requires the NX-API to be enabled.

The 'cli' function requires the 'requests' library to be installed.

The 'cli' function requires the script to be run with root privileges.
