The correct interpretation is that the response contains a single network device with management IP 10.10.10.1 and role ACCESS. This is correct because the JSON response from the Cisco DNA Center REST API returns a “response” array, where each object represents a network device with fields like id, managementIpAddress, platformId, and role; here, the array has exactly one entry, confirming a single device with the specified attributes. On the ENCOR 350-401 exam, this tests your ability to parse API JSON response structure and map fields to device properties—a common trap is assuming the “response” array always contains multiple devices or misreading the role field as a device type. Remember that the “version” field is metadata, not device data, and the “role” indicates the device’s function (e.g., ACCESS, CORE) rather than its model. A useful memory tip: “One array, one device—check the IP and role first.”
350-401 Ansible Automation Practice Question
This 350-401 practice question tests your understanding of ansible automation. Read the scenario carefully and evaluate each option against the stated constraints before committing to an answer. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
A REST API call is made to Cisco DNA Center to get the list of network devices:
GET /dna/intent/api/v1/network-device
Headers:
X-Auth-Token: <token>
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
The response contains a single device with management IP 10.10.10.1 and role ACCESS.
The response shows a list of devices; each device has an id, management IP, platform ID, and role. The correct answer correctly interprets the JSON structure.
Key principle: NAT direction and interface roles matter as much as the IP address mapping. Inside/outside designation controls which traffic is translated.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
✓
The response contains a single device with management IP 10.10.10.1 and role ACCESS.
Why this is correct
The JSON array has one element with the given fields.
Related concept
Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.
✗
The response indicates an error because the 'version' field is missing a value.
Why it's wrong here
Version is present and has a value; it is not an error.
✗
The response contains multiple devices, but only one is shown due to pagination.
Why it's wrong here
There is no indication of pagination; only one device is returned.
✗
The response requires authentication because the token is missing.
Why it's wrong here
The token is present in the header; the response is valid.
Common exam traps
Common exam trap: NAT rules depend on direction and matching traffic
NAT is not only about the public address. The inside/outside interface roles and the ACL or rule that matches traffic are just as important.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
NAT questions usually test address translation, overload/PAT behaviour, static mappings and whether the right traffic is being translated. Read the interface direction and address terms carefully.
KKey Concepts to Remember
Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.
PAT allows many inside hosts to share one public address using ports.
Inside local and inside global describe the private and translated addresses.
NAT ACLs identify traffic for translation, not always security filtering.
TExam Day Tips
→Identify inside and outside interfaces first.
→Check whether the scenario needs static NAT, dynamic NAT or PAT.
→Do not confuse NAT matching ACLs with normal packet-filtering intent.
Key takeaway
NAT direction and interface roles matter as much as the IP address mapping. Inside/outside designation controls which traffic is translated.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A small business has 20 workstations on the 192.168.1.0/24 network and one public IP from its ISP. The router uses PAT (NAT overload) so all 20 devices share one public address using different source ports. NAT questions test whether you understand the four address terms and which direction each translation applies.
