CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 430

A network administrator wants to control new router deployments via the use of application programming interfaces (APIs). This would be an example of:

Answer options

• A. software-defined networking.
• B. a three-tiered architecture.
• C. collapsed backbone.
• D. top-of-rack switching.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as software-defined networking (SDN) allows for the centralized management of network resources through APIs. The other options, such as a three-tiered architecture, collapsed backbone, and top-of-rack switching, do not specifically relate to the use of APIs for managing network devices.
