- Question 1Cisco Platforms
Which protocol provides a RESTful interface to YANG data models on Cisco IOS XE devices?
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: BExplanation:RESTCONF (RFC 8040) provides an HTTP-based RESTful interface to access YANG-modeled configuration and operational data on IOS XE devices. It uses standard HTTP methods (GET, PUT, POST, PATCH, DELETE) with JSON or XML encoding.
- Question 2Using APIs
What is the relationship between YANG models and RESTCONF/NETCONF APIs on network devices?
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: BExplanation:YANG defines the data model (structure, constraints, types). NETCONF (XML/SSH) and RESTCONF (JSON or XML/HTTPS) are protocols that use YANG models to read/write configuration and operational data on network devices.
Key Cisco Platforms Concepts for DEVCOR
DEVCOR Cisco Platforms Exam Tips
Cisco Platforms & Development questions in DEVCOR are typically scenario-based. Focus on service-level decision making aligned to official exam objectives. Priority concepts: meraki, dna center, aci, nso, ios xe, restconf.
What DEVCOR Expects
- Anchor your answer in select the most practical, secure, and scalable answer for the stated scenario.
- Cisco Platforms scenarios for DEVCOR are frequently mapped to Domain 3 (20%), so read the objective carefully before picking controls or architecture.
- Expect multi-service scenarios where Cisco Platforms interacts with IAM, networking, storage, or observability patterns rather than appearing as an isolated service question.
- When two options are both technically valid, prefer the choice that best aligns with the exam's operational scope (Professional) and managed-service best practices.
High-Value Cisco Platforms Concepts
- Know the core Cisco Platforms building blocks cold: meraki, dna center, aci, nso.
- Review the edge-case features and limits for ios xe, restconf; these details are commonly used to differentiate answer choices.
- Practice service-integration reasoning: how Cisco Platforms pairs with APIs, Network Fundamentals in real deployment patterns.
- For DEVCOR, explain why the chosen Cisco Platforms design meets reliability, security, and cost expectations better than the alternatives.
Common DEVCOR Traps
- Watch for answers that partially solve the requirement but miss operational constraints.
- Questions in Cisco Platforms and Development often include distractors that look correct for Cisco Platforms but violate least-privilege, durability, or availability requirements.
- Avoid picking options purely by feature name; validate data path, failure handling, and governance impact before answering.
- If the prompt hints at automation or repeatability, eliminate manual-only operational answers first.
Fast Review Checklist
- Can you compare at least two Cisco Platforms implementation paths and justify which one best fits the scenario?
- Can you map the chosen answer back to Cisco Platforms and Development (20%) outcomes for DEVCOR?
- Can you explain security and access boundaries for Cisco Platforms without relying on default-open assumptions?
- Can you describe how Cisco Platforms integrates with APIs and Network Fundamentals during failure, scaling, and monitoring events?
