Refer to the exhibit. Which two statements are true about this API GET request to the ACI APIC?

Question

Options

• AThe API call creates a new 10G interface in the APIC.
• BThe API call reads information from a managed object.
• CThe API response is encoded in JSON.
• DThe API call reads information from an object class.
• EThe API response is encoded in XML.

• A
  16% (3)
• B
  5% (1)
• C
  5% (1)
• D
  74% (14)

Explanation

Options D and E are correct because the exhibit's URL uses the /api/class/ path (not /api/mo/), which means the call queries an object class - retrieving all instances of that class rather than a specific managed object. The URL also ends with .xml, which explicitly tells the APIC to encode the response in XML, not JSON.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A is wrong because GET requests only read data; creating objects requires a POST or PUT.
• B is wrong because a managed object (MO) query uses the /api/mo/<DN> path, targeting a specific object by its Distinguished Name - the exhibit uses /api/class/ instead.
• C is wrong because the .xml extension in the URL dictates XML encoding; you would need .json in the URL to get a JSON response.

Memory tip: Use the URL as your decoder ring - /api/mo/ = specific Managed Object (B), /api/class/ = entire object class (D); and the file extension (.xml vs .json) tells you the response format directly.
