A network engineer needs to update the hostname of a Cisco IOS-XE device via its RESTCONF API. The device is reachable and the engineer has valid credentials. Which HTTP method and payload format should the engineer use to perform this update?

GET with a JSON payload containing the new hostname

PUT with a JSON payload containing the new hostname

PATCH with a JSON payload containing the new hostname

POST with a JSON payload containing the new hostname

A Python script is designed to delete a specific route from a network device's routing table via its REST API. The script uses the requests library. Which code snippet correctly sends the DELETE request and checks for success?

response = requests.delete(url, auth=auth); if response.status_code == 200: print('Deleted')

response = requests.post(url, auth=auth); if response.status_code == 201: print('Deleted')

response = requests.get(url, auth=auth); if response.status_code == 204: print('Deleted')

response = requests.put(url, auth=auth); if response.status_code == 200: print('Deleted')

An engineer is designing a Python script to interact with a network device's REST API. The API is stateless, and each request must include all necessary information. Which design principle should the engineer follow?

Maintain session state on the client and send it with each request

Use cookies to maintain session state on the server

Rely on the server to remember the client's previous requests

Store session state in a database on the server
