3.0 Cisco Platforms and Development Flashcards
3.2 What are Meraki’s APIs?
- Captive Portal
- Scanning API
- MV Sense Camera API
- Dashboard API
3.2 What does Meraki’s Captive Portal API do?
This allows Network Administrators to completely control the content and authentication process that a user interacts with when connection to a Meraki wireless network.
3.2 What does Meraki’s Scanning API do?
Tracks WIFI and Bluetooth devices, providing location analytics and reports on user behaviors. This provides data in real time allowing for further processing. This can be used to track user locations.
3.2 What does Meraki’s MV Sense Camera API do?
The MV sense camera uses it onboard processor to run machine learning workloads at the edge. Providing object detection, classification, and tracking for application integration.
3.2 What does Meraki’s Dashboard API do?
main uses include:
1. Provision new orgs, admins, networks and devices
2. configure networks at scale
3. Onboarding and decommissioning of clients
4. Building custom dashboards and applications
3.2 What pagination features does Meraki have?
- perPage: The number of entries to be returned in the current request
- startingAfter: A value used to indicate that the returned data will start immediately after this value
- endingBefore: A value used to indicate that the returned data will end immediately before this value
Although the types of the startingAfter and endingBefore values differ based on API endpoints, they generally are either timestamps specifying windows in time for which the data should be returned or integer values specifying IDs and ranges of IDs.
3.2 what are Cisco DNA centers 4 APIs?
- Intent API
- Integration API
- Multivendor SDK
- Events and notifications
3.2 What IPAM providers are supported by default in Cisco DNA Center?
Infoblox and Bluecat
3.2 What does Cisco DNA centers Intent API do?
a collection of northbound REST APIs that expose capabilities of the Cisco DNA Center platform. The APIs are designed to help users focus on outcomes instead of the mechanisms that implement them.
3.2 What does Cisco DNA centers Integration API do?
This API can push network data, events, and notifications to extrenal systems and at the same time can consume from connected systems. Example: When a network issue is detected this can create a ticket and assign it to the correct personnel as well as provide suggested solutions.
3.2 What does Cisco DNA centers Multivendor SDK do?
This allows their non-cisco devices to be managed by Cisco DNA center.
3.2 What does Cisco DNA centers Events and Notifications do?
These are webhooks that can trigger, publishing events to configured receiving URLs.
3.2 What does Cisco SD-WAN do?
Seperates the data and control planes for WANs
3.2 What are the 4 major products offered by Cisco SD-WAN?
- vManage
- vSmart
- vBond
- vEdge
3.2 What does Cisco SD-WAN’s vManage provide?
vManage is a centralized network management system that provides a GUI and REST API interface to the SD-WAN fabric. You can manage, monitor, and configure all componets from this single pane.
3.2 What does Cisco SD-WAN’s vSmart provide?
vSmart maintains a centralized routing table and policy that it propagates to all network edge devices via DTLS tunnels.
3.2 What does Cisco SD-WAN’s vBond provide?
vBond is the orchestrator of the fabric, authenticating vSmart controllers with vEdge devices. This is the only component that needs an external IP.
3.2 What does Cisco SD-WAN’s vEdge provide?
vEdge routers are edge/access devices. They represent the data plane and move traffic accross the network.
3.2 What are the two modes that a Cisco Nexus switch can run in?
- Stand-alone (NX-OS)
- ACI
3.2 What is the name of the controller for Nexus switches when in ACI mode?
APIC
3.2 Explain how the ACI fabric works
APIC stores a object orentated scheme to store the logical configuration. The APIC then send the logical configuration to networking devices, which they turn into the concrete configuration on the device.
3.2 What is the most important object in the Cisco ACI fabric policy model?
The End Point Group (EPG) is the most important object in the policy model. An End Point Group is a collection of endpoints that have common policy requirements such as security, virtual machine mobility, QoS, or Layer 4 to Layer 7 services.
3.2 What is a tenant and what is an example of one?
A tenant are top level Managable Objects (MO) that identify and seperate admin control, application policies and failure domains. Example: an orginzation in an enterprise enviroment.
3.2 In Cisco UCS Manager what is the logical construct that contains the complete configuration of a physical server?
Service Profile
3.2 What is the Cisco UCS Manager Python SDK library called?
ucsmsdk (UCS Manager SDK)
3.2 What is the managed object browser called in Cisco UCS Manager?
Visore
3.2 What are the two catagories a Tenant contains?
Networking and Policy
