350-401 Cisco Implementing Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (350-401 ENCOR) v1.2 Free Practice Exam Questions (2026 Updated)

The Cisco Catalyst Center Intent API is a northbound API that allows external systems, applications, and automation workflows to interact with Catalyst Center at an abstracted intent level. It is not primarily a device-by-device command interface. The purpose of an intent-based platform is to let administrators or applications express the desired business or network outcome, while the controller translates that intent into the required operational changes, workflows, and device-level configurations. That makes “northbound API” and “business outcome oriented” the correct selections. “Procedural” is incorrect because procedural automation describes step-by-step instructions, while an intent API focuses on the desired result. “Device-oriented” is also wrong because device-level control is normally handled through southbound mechanisms or lower-level APIs and protocols. “Southbound API” is incorrect because southbound communication is controller-to-device communication, while the Intent API is used above the controller by applications and integrations. The ENCOR automation concept is that Catalyst Center exposes intent-based RESTful northbound APIs for network discovery, assurance, provisioning, and policy workflows.
