350-401 Question #516: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

Refer to the exhibit. Which command is required to verify NETCONF capability reply messages?

Options

• Ashow netconf | section rpc-reply
• Bshow netconf rpc-reply
• Cshow netconf xml rpc-reply
• Dshow netconf schema | section rpc-reply

Explanation

Explanation

Option D (show netconf schema | section rpc-reply) is correct because NETCONF capability replies are part of the schema exchange process, and using show netconf schema displays the NETCONF schema information including capability advertisements; piping with | section rpc-reply filters the output to show specifically the capability reply messages exchanged during session establishment.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• Option A (show netconf | section rpc-reply) is invalid because show netconf alone is an incomplete command and not a valid IOS XE syntax for displaying NETCONF session details.
• Option B (show netconf rpc-reply) is incorrect as this is not a valid Cisco IOS XE command - there is no direct rpc-reply keyword in this command structure.
• Option C (show netconf xml rpc-reply) is similarly invalid syntax; the xml keyword is not used in this context within Cisco's NETCONF verification commands.

Memory Tip: Think "Schema = Capabilities" - NETCONF capability replies define what schemas a device supports, so when verifying capability replies, you always start with show netconf **schema**. The | section pipe is your friend for filtering XML-heavy NETCONF output on exams.
