10+ practice questions focused on Restconf — one of the most tested topics on the CCNA 200-301 v2 exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation so you learn why the right answer is correct.
Start Restconf PracticeDrag each automation or API concept from the left to its corresponding description on the right. Not all descriptions are used. Concepts: - Northbound API - Southbound API - JSON - HTTPS
Explanation: Northbound API: the application-facing interface of an SDN controller, allowing apps to request services. Southbound API: the interface that enables the controller to configure managed devices, such as OpenFlow. JSON: a structured data format using key/value pairs and arrays, lightweight and machine‑friendly. HTTPS: secure, encrypted transport for API communications, protecting data in transit. Distractors: 'Human-readable serialization format' describes YAML, not JSON or APIs. 'Protocol for network device configuration' might refer to NETCONF or CLI, not HTTPS or the APIs listed.
Drag and drop the following steps into the correct order to set up gRPC streaming telemetry subscription on a Cisco IOS-XE device.
Explanation: The correct sequence starts by entering global configuration mode. Next, create a telemetry subscription because the subscription provides the sub-mode where the remaining elements are configured. Within the subscription, configure the receiver to specify the destination, protocol, and encoding. Then, define the sensor path to select the YANG data nodes to be streamed. Finally, associate the sensor group to bind the sensor path to the subscription. While the order of configuring the receiver and defining the sensor path is flexible inside the subscription—neither depends on the other—the subscription itself must exist before any subcomponent.
Match each automation-related data term to the most accurate description.
Explanation: JSON is a lightweight data-interchange format that uses human-readable text to store and transmit data objects. An array in structured data is an ordered collection of items, indexed by integers. A key is a unique identifier used to map to a value in a key-value pair, such as in JSON objects. YANG is specifically a data modeling language designed for defining configuration and state data for network devices, often used with NETCONF/RESTCONF.
Which HTTP method is commonly used to retrieve information from a REST API without modifying the resource?
Explanation: GET is the standard HTTP method for retrieving a resource representation without changing the resource.
An automation script needs to send a bearer token when calling a controller REST API over HTTPS. Where is that token most commonly included?
Explanation: Bearer tokens are typically sent in the HTTP Authorization header. Query parameters or request bodies may carry credentials in some custom APIs, but the normal REST pattern is an Authorization header such as 'Authorization: Bearer <token>'.

Practice all Restconf questions1. Baseline your knowledge
Start with 10 questions to gauge your current understanding of Restconf. This tells you whether you need a concept refresher or just practice.
2. Review every explanation
For each question — right or wrong — read the full explanation. Understanding why an answer is correct is more valuable than knowing the answer itself.
3. Focus on exam traps
Restconf questions on the 200-301 frequently use trap wording. Look for subtle differences in answers that test your precision, not just general knowledge.
4. Reach 80% consistently
Do repeated sessions until you score 80%+ three times in a row. Then move to mixed-mode practice to test cross-topic recall under realistic conditions.
The exact number varies per candidate. Restconf is tested as part of the CCNA 200-301 v2 blueprint. Practicing with targeted Restconf questions ensures you can handle any format or difficulty that appears.
Yes. Courseiva provides free 200-301 practice questions across all exam topics and domains. The platform includes topic-based practice, mock exams, missed-question review, bookmarked questions, and readiness tracking — no account required.
Difficulty is subjective, but Restconf is a high-priority exam concept tested in multiple ways — direct recall, scenario analysis, and command-output interpretation. Consistent practice is the best way to build confidence.
