CCDE: Cisco Certified Design Expert (Practical) — Question 94

Which feature is supported by NETCONF but is not supported by SNMP?

Answer options

• A. distinguishing between configuration data and operational data
• B. taking administrative actions
• C. collecting the status of specific fields
• D. changing the configuration of specific fields

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because NETCONF can clearly separate configuration data from operational data, which is a feature not available in SNMP. Options B, C, and D are functionalities that both protocols can handle, hence they do not highlight a specific distinction between NETCONF and SNMP.
