200-901 Practice Question: A developer calls Cisco DNA Center API to get…

Exhibit

Refer to the exhibit.
{
  "response": {
    "id": "N123456789",
    "name": "Switch-A",
    "type": "Cisco Catalyst 9300",
    "softwareVersion": "16.9.3",
    "managementIpAddress": "10.10.10.1",
    "status": "unreachable"
  }
}

A developer calls Cisco DNA Center API to get device details and receives the JSON response shown. The device 'Switch-A' is listed but the status is 'unreachable'. Which Cisco DNA Center API endpoint was most likely used?

⚠ Common exam trap

Cisco often tests the distinction between list endpoints (e.g., /network-device) and detail endpoints (e.g., /network-device/{id}), where candidates mistakenly choose the list endpoint because they see a device name in the response, but the presence of a specific status like 'unreachable' for a single device indicates the ID-specific endpoint was used.

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

✓

/dna/intent/api/v1/network-device/{id}

The endpoint /dna/intent/api/v1/network-device/{id} retrieves detailed information for a specific network device, including its management IP address, reachability status, and other attributes. The JSON response showing 'Switch-A' with status 'unreachable' indicates a single-device query, which matches the path parameter {id} used to target a particular device. This endpoint returns a device-level status field (e.g., 'reachabilityStatus') that directly reflects the 'unreachable' value seen in the response.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • ✓

    /dna/intent/api/v1/network-device/{id}

    Why this is correct

    This endpoint retrieves a single device by ID, matching the response structure.

  • ✗

    /dna/intent/api/v1/site/{siteId}/device

    Why it's wrong here

    This endpoint returns a list of devices for a site, not a single device.

  • ✗

    /dna/intent/api/v1/device-health

    Why it's wrong here

    This endpoint typically returns health status like overallScore, not managementIpAddress.

  • ✗

    /dna/intent/api/v1/network-device

    Why it's wrong here

    This endpoint returns a list of devices, not a single device object.
