Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) — Question 10

Which statement about TLS is accurate when using RESTCONF to write configurations on network devices?

Answer options

• A. It is used for HTTP and HTTPS requests.
• B. It requires certificates for authentication.
• C. It is provided using NGINX acting as a proxy web server.
• D. It is not supported on Cisco devices.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because TLS can indeed be implemented with NGINX as a proxy to secure RESTCONF communications. Option A is incorrect because while TLS is used with HTTPS, it does not apply to HTTP. Option B is misleading as TLS can use certificates, but they are not mandatory for all configurations. Option D is false as TLS is supported on Cisco devices.
