CCIE Service Provider (legacy) — Question 2

Which two descriptions of the transport protocols used by RESTCONF and NETCONF are true? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. NETCONF uses HTTP as its transport protocol.
• B. RESTCONF uses SSH as its transport protocol.
• C. NETCONF uses SSH as its transport protocol.
• D. RESTCONF uses gRPC as its transport protocol.
• E. NETCONF uses gRPC as its transport protocol.
• F. RESTCONF uses HTTP as its transport protocol.

Correct answer: E, F

Explanation

The correct answers are E and F because NETCONF can use gRPC as a transport method, while RESTCONF specifically employs HTTP. Options A and B are incorrect as NETCONF does not use HTTP and RESTCONF does not use SSH. Option C is incorrect because NETCONF primarily uses SSH, not HTTP, and option D is wrong since RESTCONF does not utilize gRPC.
