Refer to the exhibit. What is the result of running the script?
The correct answer is C. It prints the XML output of "show running interface GigabitEthernet 1" on the device with IP. Explanation Option C is correct because the script uses NETCONF with ncclient to establish a connection to a device at IP 192.168.1.10 and executes a get_config or dispatch operation using an XML filter targeting the GigabitEthernet 1 interface - this is a read operation, not a w

Explanation
Explanation
Option C is correct because the script uses NETCONF with ncclient to establish a connection to a device at IP 192.168.1.10 and executes a get_config or dispatch operation using an XML filter targeting the GigabitEthernet 1 interface - this is a read operation, not a write/configure operation, so it retrieves and prints the XML-formatted running configuration for that specific interface.
Why the distractors are wrong:
- Option A is incorrect because the script performs a GET (read) operation, not a SET/edit-config (write) operation that would push an IP address configuration to the device.
- Option B is incorrect because NETCONF does not "open an interactive config mode" - it is a programmatic, session-based protocol that exchanges complete XML messages, not an interactive CLI prompt.
- Option D is incorrect because
192.168.1.0is typically a network address, not a host address, and the script targets192.168.1.10; additionally, the XML filter scopes the output toGigabitEthernet 1, not the entire running config.
Memory Tip: Think "NETCONF GET = XML printout" - if the script uses
get_configwithout anedit-config, it's always reading and displaying XML data, never configuring. The host IP in the connection manager is your target device address.
