350-601 Practice Test 23 — 15 Questions

Question 1

In an ACI fabric, an automation engineer needs to create a new tenant with an application profile and EPG using the APIC REST API. The engineer decides to use the Cobra SDK for Python. Which statement about the Cobra SDK is true?

Choose an answer to begin — your selection is scored in the full session.

Accepted Answer

Cobra SDK provides Python classes for each object in the ACI MIT.. Cobra SDK provides Python bindings for the APIC REST API, allowing direct manipulation of the MIT.

Answer

Cobra SDK only supports JSON format for payloads.

Answer

Cobra SDK uses NETCONF to communicate with the APIC.

Answer

Cobra SDK requires the acitoolkit library to be installed separately.

Question 2

A network engineer wants to use Ansible to automate the configuration of Nexus switches. Which two statements about the cisco.nxos Ansible collection are correct? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

It includes the nxos_config module for applying CLI commands.. The collection includes modules like nxos_config and nxos_vlan, and it is supported on NX-OS platforms.

Answer

It is part of the Ansible Core collection.

Answer

It can only manage VLANs.

Answer

It is used exclusively for ACI automation.

Question 3

Which three components are part of the ACI Management Information Tree (MIT)? (Choose three.)

Accepted Answer

Endpoint Group (EPG). Tenant, Application Profile, and Endpoint Group are managed objects in the MIT hierarchy.

Answer

VRF

Answer

Routed Outside

Question 4

Which YANG model is commonly used for vendor-neutral network configuration and operations?

Accepted Answer

OpenConfig YANG models. OpenConfig is a vendor-neutral YANG model initiative. Cisco native YANG models are vendor-specific. NETCONF and RESTCONF are protocols, not models.

Answer

NETCONF

Answer

Cisco native YANG models

Answer

RESTCONF

Question 5

Which YANG-based protocol uses RESTful operations (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) over HTTP/HTTPS for network configuration?

Accepted Answer

RESTCONF. RESTCONF (RFC 8040) is a RESTful protocol that uses HTTP methods and YANG data models.

Answer

SNMP

Answer

NETCONF

Answer

gRPC

Question 6

A network automation engineer wants to use EEM with Python applets on a Nexus switch to trigger a script when an interface goes down. Which EEM configuration is required to invoke the Python script?

Accepted Answer

action 1.0 python bootflash:script.py. EEM applets can use the 'action' command with 'python' to run a Python script in the Guest Shell or OnEX environment.

Answer

action 1.0 cli python bootflash:script.py

Answer

action 1.0 bash python bootflash:script.py

Answer

action 1.0 event manager python script.py

Question 7

Which of the following is a benefit of using OpenConfig YANG models for network automation?

Accepted Answer

They provide a standard, vendor-neutral data model.. OpenConfig YANG models are vendor-neutral, allowing consistent configuration across multi-vendor environments.

Answer

They replace the need for NETCONF or RESTCONF.

Answer

They only support read-only operations.

Answer

They are specific to Cisco devices only.

Question 8

A network administrator needs to automate ACI configuration using a Python library that abstracts the APIC REST API. Which library should be used?

Accepted Answer

acitoolkit. The acitoolkit is a Python library that provides an abstraction layer over the APIC REST API. Cobra SDK is a lower-level Python SDK. cisco_nxapi is for Nexus, not ACI. Ansible is not a Python library.

Answer

cisco_nxapi

Answer

Ansible

Answer

Cobra SDK

Question 9

Which TWO of the following are valid methods to run Python scripts on a Cisco Nexus switch? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

OnEX. Guest Shell provides a Linux environment for Python, and OnEX is a Python interpreter built into NX-OS.

Answer

Cobra SDK

Answer

NX-API REST

Answer

acitoolkit

Question 10

A network engineer needs to automate the configuration of BGP on a Nexus 9000 switch using Ansible. The playbook uses the cisco.nxos.nxos_bgp module. Which of the following parameters is required in the module to specify the local AS number?

Accepted Answer

local_as. The nxos_bgp module requires the 'local_as' parameter to configure the BGP autonomous system number.

Answer

vrf

Answer

as_number

Answer

bgp_as

Question 11

Which Ansible module from the cisco.nxos collection is used to apply a set of CLI commands on a Nexus switch?

Accepted Answer

nxos_config. nxos_config applies raw CLI commands or configuration snippets. nxos_vlan, nxos_interface, and nxos_bgp are purpose-built for specific features.

Answer

nxos_vlan

Answer

nxos_interface

Answer

nxos_bgp

Question 12

An engineer is implementing CI/CD for network changes. Which tool is commonly used for version control of network configuration files and infrastructure code?

Accepted Answer

Git. Git is the industry-standard version control system used for managing infrastructure as code, including network configurations.

Answer

Docker

Answer

Jenkins

Answer

Ansible

Question 13

A network engineer wants to automate the configuration of VLANs on a Nexus 9000 switch using REST-based APIs. Which approach should be used to send NX-OS commands via HTTP/HTTPS in JSON format?

Accepted Answer

NX-API REST. NX-API REST supports XML or JSON over HTTP/HTTPS and allows configuration via RESTful operations. NX-API CLI sends CLI commands over HTTP, not REST. Guest Shell runs bash scripts. NETCONF uses XML over SSH.

Answer

Guest Shell

Answer

NETCONF

Answer

NX-API CLI

Question 14

A developer wants to run a Python script directly on a Nexus switch to automate local operations. Which feature allows executing a Python script in a Linux environment on the switch?

Accepted Answer

Guest Shell. Guest Shell provides a secure Linux environment on Nexus switches where Python scripts can run. EEM with Python applets runs scripts triggered by events. OnEX is not a standard feature. NX-API is for remote API access.

Answer

NX-API

Answer

EEM with Python applet

Answer

OnEX

Question 15

An administrator wants to use the APIC REST API to create a new Tenant in ACI. Which object in the Management Information Tree (MIT) should be the target of the POST request?

Accepted Answer
