CCNA: Cisco Certified Network Associate — Question 572

Which benefit does Cisco DNA Center provide over traditional campus management?

Answer options

• A. Cisco DNA Center automates HTTPS for secure web access, and traditional campus management uses HTTP.
• B. Cisco DNA Center leverages SNMPv3 for encrypted management, and traditional campus management uses SNMPv2.
• C. Cisco DNA Center leverages APIs, and traditional campus management requires manual data gathering.
• D. Cisco DNA Center automates SSH access for encrypted entry, and SSH is absent from traditional campus management.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because Cisco DNA Center uses APIs to automate data collection, significantly reducing manual efforts required in traditional campus management. Options A, B, and D focus on specific protocols and security measures, which do not address the central improvement of automation through APIs, making them less relevant to the question.
