200-901 Cisco Platforms and Development Practice Question
A developer is using the Cisco DNA Center API to manage devices. The developer needs to perform operations that are part of the 'Site Management' API category. (Choose two.)
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often confuse Site Management with other DNA Center API categories such as Device Monitoring or Network Settings.
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
✓
Assign a device to a site
The Site Management API category in Cisco DNA Center includes operations for creating, updating, and deleting sites, as well as associating devices with sites. Creating a new site and assigning a device to a site are both part of this category. Other operations like retrieving device health or configuring SNMP belong to different API categories.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Retrieve device health
Why it's wrong here
Retrieving device health is part of the Device Monitoring or Health API category, not Site Management. While site management may involve health data, the core operations of Site Management focus on creating, updating, and deleting sites, and associating devices with sites. Health retrieval is a separate concern.
- ✓
Assign a device to a site
Why this is correct
Assigning a device to a site is another key operation in Site Management. This is done via endpoints such as POST /dna/intent/api/v1/site/{siteId}/device. It associates a network device with a specific site, enabling site-based monitoring and policy enforcement. This operation is fundamental for site-based management.
- ✗
Configure SNMP settings on a device
Why it's wrong here
Configuring SNMP settings is part of the Device Configuration or Network Settings API category. Site Management does not handle device-level configuration. It is concerned with the logical organization of devices into sites. SNMP configuration would be performed through a different set of APIs, such as those for device configuration.
- ✗
Create a new network profile
Why it's wrong here
Creating a network profile is part of the Network Settings or Policy API category. While network profiles can be applied to sites, the creation of profiles is not a Site Management operation. Site Management focuses on the site hierarchy and device assignments, not on defining network profiles themselves.
- ✓
Create a new site
Why this is correct
Creating a new site is a core operation in the Site Management API category. This allows developers to define logical groupings of devices and assign them to sites. The API provides endpoints like POST /dna/intent/api/v1/site to create sites. This operation is essential for organizing network devices by location or function.
