300-635 Exam Dumps : Automating Cisco Data Center Solutions (DCAUTO)

 The DCNM API is REST-based, allowing third parties to test and develop application software. It supports a wide range of operations that can also be performed using the DCNM GUI, which uses these REST APIs to render the GUI itself. This means that the same tasks available through the API can be accessed and managed through the graphical user interface, providing flexibility in how network administrators interact with DCNM23.

The Cisco Data Center Network Manager (DCNM) REST API provides a robust platform for automating various tasks in the data center. Two of its capabilities include:

A: The DCNM REST API uses the dcnm-token header for requests authentication after initial basic authentication. This token-based authentication is more secure as it reduces the need to repeatedly send credentials over the network.

E: The DCNM REST API is organized into different management areas such as Classic LAN, LAN Fabric, Media Controller, and SAN Management. This categorization allows for targeted automation and management within specific domains of the data center network.

Cisco Intersight REST API requires a secure authentication process that involves creating a SHA256 hash of the message body and headers. This ensures that the message integrity is maintained and verifies that the message has not been tampered with during transit. Even if the message body is empty, a SHA256 hash is still required. Additionally, the use of RSA private keys enhances security, but the specific key size requirement was not mentioned in the provided resources6
