200-901 Practice Question: Refer to the exhibit
Exhibit
[
{
"hostname": "Edge-Router",
"managementIpAddress": "10.1.1.1",
"softwareVersion": "16.12.3",
"deviceRole": "BORDER ROUTER"
}
]Refer to the exhibit. Which Cisco DNA Center Intent API request produced this response?
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the distinction between a collection endpoint (GET without ID) and a specific resource endpoint (GET with ID), where candidates mistakenly choose the list endpoint when the response clearly shows a single device's details.
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
✓
GET /dna/intent/api/v1/network-device/{id}
The response shows detailed information for a single network device, including its management IP address, platform ID, and serial number. The GET /dna/intent/api/v1/network-device/{id} request retrieves details for a specific device identified by its unique ID, which matches the granular, single-device data in the exhibit. This is the correct Intent API endpoint for fetching a device by ID.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
GET /dna/intent/api/v1/network-device/{id}
Why this is correct
The exhibit returns a single device object keyed by its unique identifier, so the request must target that device resource directly. Appending the device UUID to the network-device collection path retrieves one device's attributes, satisfying the requirement to fetch details for a specific managed device rather than listing all devices.
- ✗
GET /dna/intent/api/v1/network-device
Why it's wrong here
This GET returns the full network-device inventory collection, not the single-device detail shown in the exhibit. It is tempting because it is the standard endpoint for listing devices, and would be correct when enumerating all managed devices rather than retrieving one device's attributes by its unique ID.
- ✗
POST /dna/intent/api/v1/network-device
Why it's wrong here
POST to network-device creates a new device, returning a task ID and creation confirmation, not the device inventory list shown. It is tempting because POST is used for device onboarding, which would be correct when adding a device rather than retrieving existing inventory.
- ✗
PUT /dna/intent/api/v1/network-device/{id}
Why it's wrong here
PUT to network-device/{id} updates an existing device's attributes and returns a task submission, not the inventory listing in the exhibit. It is tempting because PUT targets a specific device, which would be correct when modifying a device's configuration or role.
