HPE7-A08 · Question #236
You have run a script to configure a new VLAN on a CX switch, but are receiving a '401 - Unauthorized' HTTP response code. What do you need to do to resolve the issue?
The correct answer is A. Send a POST request to the /rest/v1/login resource. A 401 Unauthorized response indicates that the REST API request is not authenticated. Sending a login request to the switch’s REST API login resource establishes an authenticated session so subsequent configuration requests, such as creating a VLAN, are accepted.
