200-901 Cisco Platforms and Development Practice Question
A network engineer is using Cisco DNA Center to automate network changes. Which THREE operations are part of the 'Change your network' API category? (Choose three.)
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the distinction between read-only (query/inventory) and write (change) API operations, and the trap here is that candidates mistakenly classify 'Run a command on a device' as a change because it interacts with a device, but it is a transient troubleshooting action, not a persistent configuration change.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Create and assign a site to a device
The 'Change your network' API category in Cisco DNA Center includes operations that actively modify the network state. Creating and assigning a site to a device is a configuration change that associates a physical location with a device, which directly alters the network's logical topology and is part of the site management workflow under this API category.
