Refer to the exhibit. After the code is run on a Cisco IOS-XE router, the response code is 204. What is the result of the script?

Question

Exhibits

Options

• AThe configuration fails because another interface is already configured with IP address 10.10.10.1/24.
• BThe configuration fails because interface GigabitEthernet2 is missing on the target device.
• CThe configuration is successfully sent to the device in cleartext.
• DInterface GigabitEthernet2 is configured with IP address 10.10.10.1/24

• A
  4% (1)
• B
  4% (1)
• D
  92% (23)

Explanation

Explanation

HTTP response code 204 (No Content) indicates a successful request where the server has fulfilled it but returns no response body - this is the standard RESTCONF/NETCONF success response when a configuration is applied via a PATCH or PUT request, confirming that GigabitEthernet2 has been successfully configured with IP address 10.10.10.1/24.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• Option A is incorrect because a conflict (duplicate IP) would return a 409 Conflict error code, not 204.
• Option B is incorrect because a missing interface would return a 404 Not Found error, not 204.
• Option C is incorrect because RESTCONF uses HTTPS (not HTTP cleartext) for secure communication on Cisco IOS-XE.

Memory Tip

Use the "2xx = Success" rule from HTTP status codes:

• 200 = OK (with response body)
• 201 = Created
• 204 = No Content (success, no body returned)

Any 4xx code signals a client-side error (404 = Not Found, 409 = Conflict), so if you see 204 on a RESTCONF question, the configuration was successful.
