Explanation
The Cisco vManage REST API is accessed over authenticated HTTPS, which provides both encryption and session-based authentication required for secure API communication.
Common mistakes.
- A. HTTP Inspector is not a valid vManage interface or protocol - there is no such access method defined in the SD-WAN architecture.
- C. DTLS (Datagram TLS) is used for control plane connections between SD-WAN components such as vBond, vSmart, and WAN Edge, not for REST API access.
- D. JSON Inspector is not a recognized vManage access interface - JSON is the data format used in API request and response bodies, not a connection method.
