Question

An engineer must configure Cisco Nexus devices and wants to automate this workflow. The engineer enables the Cisco NX-OS REST API to configure the devices by using an Ansible playbook. Before running the code, which resource must be used to verify that the code works correctly?

Options

BCisco Learning Labs
CCisco Code Exchange
DCisco Modeling Labs

Explanation

Cisco Modeling Labs (CML) is a network simulation and emulation platform that runs actual Cisco NOS images (including NX-OS) in virtual environments. Engineers use it to build virtual network topologies that mirror production infrastructure and test automation scripts - including Ansible playbooks - against simulated Nexus devices before deploying to real hardware. This prevents misconfiguration and outages in production. The Cisco NX-OS SDK (A) is for building on-box applications. Cisco Learning Labs (B) are guided learning sandboxes, not a general-purpose verification tool. Cisco Code Exchange (C) is a repository for sharing code, not a testing environment.
