200-901 Infrastructure and Automation Practice Question
A developer is writing a Python script that uses the Cisco DNA Center Intent API to retrieve a list of all network devices. The script must handle pagination to ensure all devices are returned. Which TWO parameters are used to control pagination in the Cisco DNA Center API? (Choose two.)
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is assuming that common pagination parameter names like page or size are used, when Cisco DNA Center specifically uses offset and limit.
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
✓
limit
Cisco DNA Center uses offset and limit query parameters to implement pagination. The offset indicates the starting record, and limit sets the page size. By looping with increasing offset values, the script can retrieve all devices. Other parameter names like page, size, or start are not used by this API.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
limit
Why this is correct
The limit parameter defines the maximum number of records to return in a single response. It controls the page size. Together with offset, it allows the client to iterate through the full dataset in manageable chunks.
- ✗
start
Why it's wrong here
The start parameter is not recognized by the Cisco DNA Center API for pagination. It might be confused with offset, but it is not a valid parameter. Requests using start would not control which records are returned.
- ✗
size
Why it's wrong here
The size parameter is not part of the DNA Center pagination scheme. It is sometimes used in other APIs to specify the number of items per page, but DNA Center uses limit instead. Including size would have no effect.
- ✓
offset
Why this is correct
The offset parameter specifies the starting index of the first record to return. By incrementing the offset by the limit value in subsequent requests, the script can retrieve the next page of results until all devices are collected.
- ✗
page
Why it's wrong here
The Cisco DNA Center API does not use a page parameter for pagination. While some APIs use page numbers, DNA Center uses offset and limit. Using page would not affect the results and could be ignored or cause an error.
