Question

Which two REST API functions are performed for Cisco devices in an overlay network? (Choose two.)

Options

Aattaching a device configuration template
Bquerying a device and aggregating statistics
Cdistributing a Snort image among devices
Dmonitoring device certificates
Emanaging connections for smart licensing

Explanation

Cisco SD-WAN REST APIs enable programmatic management of the overlay network, including attaching configuration templates to devices and querying device statistics for monitoring and reporting purposes.

Common mistakes.

C. While distributing software images is an SD-WAN function, the primary method for distributing a Snort image among devices is typically through a feature template or an integrated service chain, not a direct REST API function for the image itself.
D. Monitoring device certificates is typically done through the vManage UI or direct CLI, and while certificate information can be queried via API, it's not a primary 'function' performed by the API in the same way as template attachment or statistics aggregation.
E. Managing connections for smart licensing is typically handled by the device itself and the Cisco Smart Software Manager (CSSM), rather than being a direct REST API function performed for devices in the overlay.
