200-901 Practice Question: Refer to the exhibit

Exhibit

{
  "error": {
    "code": "400",
    "message": "Property 'fvTenant.attributes.name' is mandatory but not provided"
  }
}

Refer to the exhibit. A developer sent a POST request to https://apic-ip/api/mo/uni/tn-testtenant.json with a JSON body missing the name attribute. What should the correct JSON body include?

⚠ Common exam trap

Cisco often tests the requirement to nest attributes inside the managed object class, and the trap here is that candidates either omit the 'attributes' wrapper entirely (Option A) or place 'attributes' at the top level (Option B), both of which are common mistakes when transitioning from simpler REST APIs to the APIC's structured object model.

Correct answer & explanation

✓

{"fvTenant": {"attributes": {"name": "testtenant"}}}

The Cisco APIC REST API requires the JSON body for creating a tenant to follow the object model structure: the top-level key is the managed object class (fvTenant), which contains an 'attributes' object with the 'name' property. The name must match the tenant name in the URL (testtenant), and the API expects lowercase for the name value unless the object model specifies otherwise.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

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

✗
{"fvTenant": {"name": "testtenant"}}
Why it's wrong here
Missing the 'attributes' wrapper, so the structure is incorrect.
✗
{"attributes": {"name": "testtenant"}}
Why it's wrong here
Missing the 'fvTenant' container.
✗
{"fvTenant": {"attributes": {"name": "TestTenant"}}}
Why it's wrong here
The name should match the tenant DN; using uppercase would be inconsistent with the DN 'tn-testtenant'.
✓
{"fvTenant": {"attributes": {"name": "testtenant"}}}
Why this is correct
Correctly nests the 'name' property under 'attributes' inside 'fvTenant'.
