Yet Another Next Generation
What are two features that can be used for Day 0 provisioning in NX-OS?
PowerOn Auto Provisioning (POAP) and PXE
What two Cisco interfaces are there in NX-OS for Day Provisioning?
NX-API REST and CLI
What is a a specialized container that is prebuilt and installed within the system, allows customers and third-party application developers to add custom functionality directly on the device in a secure, isolated environment.
Guest Shell
On NX-OS, what interacts with network elements through RESTful API calls. It allows for a data model-driven approach to network configuration and management.
NX-API REST
On NX-OS, what provides the ability to embed Cisco NX-OS CLI commands in a structured data format (JSON or XML) for execution on the switch via an HTTP or HTTPS transport. The data returned from the calls will also be formatted in JSON or XML, making it easy to parse the data with modern programming languages.
NX-API CLI
T/F - Cisco NX-OS SDK (NX-SDK) is a C++ abstraction and plug-in library layer that streamlines access to infrastructure for automation and custom application creation, such as generating custom CLIs, syslogs, event and error managers, interapplication communication, and route manager. You can use C++, Python, or Go for application development with NX-SDK.
True
What are the Programmability options on Cisco Nexus Devices?
Onboard Python EEM NX-API CLI and REST NX-SDK - N9K NX-Toolkit - N9K and 3K Guest Shell and Bash Configuration Management Tools (Puppet, Chef, and Ansible)
What module come preinstalled with Python on Cisco Nexus Switches?
cisco
What are the (3) core APIs, or methods that are available to use within the Cisco Python module?
cli(), clip(), and clid()
What Cisco module function in Nexus OS, returns the raw output of CLI commands, including control and special characters?
cli()
What Cisco module function in Nexus OS, prints out the output of the cli command directly to stdout and returns nothing to Python?
clip()
What Cisco module function in Nexus OS, returns a dictionary of attribute-names/values for CLI commands that support JSON?
clid()
