Question 830
For this Cisco ENSLD design case: A lightweight client needs to query a single resource over HTTPS using standard web methods and YANG-modeled data. Which technical principle BEST explains the design decision?
Explanation
Correct Answer
RESTCONF presents model-defined data using HTTP-based resources, unlike NETCONF’s RPC-oriented protocol session. The correct engineering response is: Use RESTCONF with the appropriate resource path, authentication and HTTP method. The observable check is: A GET returns the expected modeled resource and an authorized PATCH changes only the intended fields.
Incorrect Answers
RESTCONF presents model-defined data using HTTP-based resources, unlike NETCONF’s RPC-oriented protocol session. The offered choice instead concerns a different principle: NETCONF uses structured RPC operations and can support explicit configuration datastores and commit controls. Those technical conditions are not interchangeable.
RESTCONF presents model-defined data using HTTP-based resources, unlike NETCONF’s RPC-oriented protocol session. The offered choice instead concerns a different principle: Model-driven management interfaces can modify sensitive configuration if clients are overprivileged. Those technical conditions are not interchangeable.
RESTCONF presents model-defined data using HTTP-based resources, unlike NETCONF’s RPC-oriented protocol session. The offered choice instead concerns a different principle: Streaming telemetry can reduce repetitive per-device polling overhead and provide structured timely updates. Those technical conditions are not interchangeable.
