CCNP Cisco DNA Center Practice Question

This 350-401 practice question tests your understanding of cisco dna center. This is a configuration task: choose the command set that satisfies every stated requirement. Small differences — like 'secret' vs 'password' or 'transport input ssh' vs 'all' — change whether the answer is correct. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.

Which two statements about Cisco DNA Center automation workflows are true? (Choose two.)

Full question →

A
Cisco DNA Center supports Plug and Play (PnP) for zero-touch device onboarding.
Correct because PnP is a built-in feature of DNA Center that automates the initial deployment of new devices without manual intervention.
B
Cisco DNA Center uses template-based provisioning to apply consistent configurations across devices.
Correct because DNA Center provides a template engine (e.g., CLI templates) to push standardized configurations to multiple devices.
C
Cisco DNA Center only supports GUI-based configuration; CLI access is not available.
Why wrong: Incorrect because DNA Center allows CLI template creation and execution, and devices can still be managed via CLI through the network.
D
Cisco DNA Center automates configuration of all network devices, including third-party switches.
Why wrong: Incorrect because DNA Center primarily automates Cisco devices; third-party support is limited or requires additional integration.
E
Cisco DNA Center uses SNMP to push configuration changes to devices.
Why wrong: Incorrect because DNA Center uses NETCONF, RESTCONF, or CLI (via SSH) for configuration; SNMP is used for monitoring, not configuration.

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

✓

Cisco DNA Center supports Plug and Play (PnP) for zero-touch device onboarding.

Cisco DNA Center uses intent-based APIs and templates to automate network provisioning. The correct answers highlight key automation capabilities: PnP for zero-touch deployment and template-based provisioning for consistent configuration. The incorrect options misrepresent the GUI-only nature (CLI is also available via templates), the role of Assurance (monitoring, not configuration), the scope of SD-Access (fabric, not all devices), and the integration method (REST APIs, not SNMP).

Key principle: NAT direction and interface roles matter as much as the IP address mapping. Inside/outside designation controls which traffic is translated.

Common exam traps

Common exam trap: NAT rules depend on direction and matching traffic

NAT is not only about the public address. The inside/outside interface roles and the ACL or rule that matches traffic are just as important.

Detailed technical explanation

How to think about this question

NAT questions usually test address translation, overload/PAT behaviour, static mappings and whether the right traffic is being translated. Read the interface direction and address terms carefully.

KKey Concepts to Remember

Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.
PAT allows many inside hosts to share one public address using ports.
Inside local and inside global describe the private and translated addresses.
NAT ACLs identify traffic for translation, not always security filtering.

TExam Day Tips

Identify inside and outside interfaces first.
Check whether the scenario needs static NAT, dynamic NAT or PAT.
Do not confuse NAT matching ACLs with normal packet-filtering intent.

Key takeaway

NAT direction and interface roles matter as much as the IP address mapping. Inside/outside designation controls which traffic is translated.

Real-world example

How this comes up in practice

A small business has 20 workstations on the 192.168.1.0/24 network and one public IP from its ISP. The router uses PAT (NAT overload) so all 20 devices share one public address using different source ports. NAT questions test whether you understand the four address terms and which direction each translation applies.

What to study next

Got this wrong? Here's your next step.

Review the four NAT address types (inside local, inside global, outside local, outside global), PAT port overload, and static vs dynamic NAT use cases. Then practise related 350-401 NAT questions on configuration and troubleshooting.
