300-635 Cisco Automating Cisco Data Center Solutions (DCAUTO) Free Practice Exam Questions (2025 Updated)

 The code snippet is intended to configure VLAN 10 in Cisco UCS. After creating the VLAN object and adding it with handle.add_mo(newvlan), it is essential to commit the changes to the UCS Manager for them to take effect. This is done by invoking handle.commit(). Without this step, the changes will not be saved, and VLAN 10 will not be configured.

The Python script uses the ACI Cobra SDK to interact with Cisco’s Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI). It logs into the APIC and retrieves a list of all application profiles (‘fvAp’), then prints out their distinguished names (dn), which uniquely identify each application profile within the ACI fabric. References:

Cluster Isolation (B) and Namespace Isolation (E) are Kubernetes features that allow partitioning of cluster resources and application isolation. VM Isolation (A) is not specific to Kubernetes with SCCM plugin deployment, and Process Isolation (D) is not an application isolation type in this context. References: Cisco ACI APIC CLI Configuration

In Cisco’s ACI, the Management Information Tree (MIT) uses several attributes to uniquely identify managed objects. ‘RN’ stands for Relative Name, which is the name of an object within its parent’s context. ‘DN’ stands for Distinguished Name, which is a unique name that includes the full path in the MIT hierarchy.

Cisco ACI Documentation

Kubernetes deployed with the ACI CNI plug-in offers Namespace Isolation and Cluster Isolation. Namespace Isolation segregates resources within the same cluster using Kubernetes namespaces, while Cluster Isolation ensures complete separation between different clusters. References:

Consistency of Systems Configuration: Network configuration tools like Ansible and Puppet ensure that configurations across multiple devices in a data center are uniform. This consistency reduces the risk of errors that can occur when configurations are applied manually, leading to a more stable and reliable network infrastructure12.

Automation of Repetitive Tasks: These tools automate routine tasks such as deploying updates, applying configurations, and provisioning systems. By automating these tasks, data center operations become more efficient, reducing the time and effort required for manual configuration and increasing productivity

In an ACI policy model, the separation of logical and concrete domains allows for the definition of policies in a logical space without specifying physical details. These policies can then be applied flexibly to the concrete entities, providing a clear abstraction layer for network configuration. References: Cisco ACI policy model documentation.

When using the Cisco Intersight API, the Secret Key is only available at the time of API Key creation, which is why option B is correct. An API Key is indeed composed of a Key ID and Secret Key, making option C correct as well. The other options do not apply as per the standard practices for API authentication

The code snippet is intended to access a child managed object within Cisco’s ACI. The current placement of line 2 (dnQuery.subtree = 'parent') specifies that the query should look at the parent objects, not the children. To fix the code so that it accesses a child managed object, line 2 should be moved to after line 3, where tenantMo is defined. This change will ensure that the subtree of tenantMo is set to ‘parent’, which means that when defaultBDmo is called in line 4, it will correctly reference a child managed object under tenantMo. References :=

 The network bootstrap program used by Cisco NX-OS for iPXE is called iPXE-POAP (Power-On Auto Provisioning). This process assists in automating the installation and configuration of Nexus switches. POAP automates the process of upgrading software images and installing configuration files on switches that are being deployed in the network for the first time. References: Cisco official documentation and training materials.

The correct command to execute a Python script within the Guest Shell container on a Cisco NX-OS switch is guestshell run, followed by the path to the Python script. In this case, the script deltacounters.py is located in /home/admin/, so the full command would be guestshell run python /home/admin/deltacounter.py ethernet1/1. This command initiates the Guest Shell, which is a secure, Linux-based environment designed to run custom Linux applications, including Python scripts, on Cisco NX-OS platforms. By specifying python after guestshell run, we are instructing Guest Shell to use its Python interpreter to execute the given script with ‘ethernet1/1’ as an argument passed to it.

Implementing Automation for Cisco Data Center Solutions (DCAUI)

The default data encoding for the response output of the ACI APIC API inspector is JSON (JavaScript Object Notation). JSON is a lightweight data-interchange format that is easy for humans to read and write and easy for machines to parse and generate. References: Cisco ACI documentation and API guides.

Without the exhibit or the complete Python code options (A, B, C, D), it is not possible to determine which snippet correctly creates an application policy named OrderProcess with two application endpoint groups under Tenant SuperEats using direct calls to the ACI REST API. The correct answer would depend on the specific API calls made and the structure of the JSON payload in the Python code.

Step 1 : The switch searches for a Domain Host Configuration Protocol service on the network

Step 2 : DHCP assigns the switch an IP Address, default gateway, and IP address that are tracked by the Domain Name System server.

Step 3 : POAP gets the IP address of a script server, downloads the correct script for the switch, and runs the script on the switch.

Cisco UCS Director custom workflow tasks are scripted in Cloupia Script. This scripting language is specific to Cisco and is used for automating tasks across various components of data center operations.

The output shown in the exhibit is a list of distinguished names (DNs) for Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) blades within specific chassis. The correct PowerTool commands to provide this output would be those that retrieve information about UCS blade servers and then select their distinguished names. The command Get-UcsBlade | Select-Object Dn retrieves all the UCS blade servers and then pipes them to the Select-Object cmdlet to display only their distinguished names, which matches the pattern seen in the exhibit. Similarly, Get-UcsRackUnit | Select-Object Dn could potentially provide a similar output if rack units are named in a similar fashion to blades within the system’s naming conventions. References :=
