Implementing Automation for Cisco Enterprise Solutions (ENAUTO) — Question 92

A configuration has been made to add to every switch port a new port description. The script worked initially, but after a few seconds, an HTTP 429 status code was received. What causes this error message from the Meraki cloud?

Answer options

• A. The wrong API key is used to query the data.
• B. The rate limit of the Cisco Meraki API is exceeded.
• C. The API key has expired.
• D. The device goes offline while you poll the API dashboard.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because an HTTP 429 status code indicates that the rate limit for requests to the Cisco Meraki API has been exceeded. Options A and C are incorrect since they pertain to authentication issues rather than rate limits, and option D is not relevant as it deals with device connectivity rather than API request limits.
