Refer to the exhibit. To optimize network operations, the senior architect created this Python 3.9 script for network automation tasks and to leverage Ansible 4.0 playbooks. Devices in the network support only RFC 2617-based authentication. What does the script do?

Question

Accepted Answer

B. The script leverages REST API calls and configures interface GigabitEthernet0/1 with IP address The script's url points to a RESTCONF endpoint (/restconf/data/ietf-interfaces:interfaces/interface=GigabitEthernet0%2F1) for configuring an interface, and the payload contains a JSON structure that specifies the IP address 10.10.10.1/24 for GigabitEthernet0/1. The Authorization: Basic header with a Base64 encoded username/password indicates it uses REST API calls with RFC 2617-based authentication to configure the interface.

Answer

A. The script performs a configuration sanity check on the device with IP address 172.168.211.65 The script is clearly building a configuration payload for an interface, not performing a 'sanity check,' which would typically involve retrieving data and validating it.

Answer

C. The script parses the JSON response from the router at IP address 172.168 211.65 and checks if While the script uses JSON, it's constructing a configuration payload to send, not primarily parsing a JSON response to check a condition.

Answer

D. The script logs in via SSH and configures interface GigabitEthernet0/1 with IP address 10 The url clearly indicates a RESTCONF API endpoint (HTTP/HTTPS), not an SSH connection, and the payload is JSON for an interface configuration, not commands to be sent over SSH.
