200-901 Cisco Platforms and Development Practice Question
Which YANG model is an OpenConfig model used for interface configuration?
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the distinction between vendor-neutral OpenConfig models, IETF standard models, and Cisco proprietary native models, expecting candidates to recognize that 'openconfig-interfaces' is the correct OpenConfig model name, not a generic or IETF-prefixed alternative.
