Developing Applications and Automating Workflows Using Cisco Platforms (DEVASC) — Question 291

An engineer deploys a Cisco CSR 1000 V instance to a virtual machine. The engineer must output the device configuration in JSON format. Which protocol is used for this task?

Answer options

• A. YANG
• B. NETCONF
• C. SNMP
• D. RESTCONF

Correct answer: D

Explanation

RESTCONF is specifically designed to work with RESTful APIs and allows for JSON formatted data interchange, making it suitable for outputting device configurations in JSON. While YANG is a data modeling language, NETCONF is a network management protocol that does not directly output in JSON, and SNMP is primarily for monitoring and managing network devices, not for configuration management in JSON format.
