Question

You are writing a Python script that uses RESTCONF (RFC 8040) against a Cisco IOS XE device to persist the current interface and ACL configuration so it survives a reboot. Your script has already applied changes to the running configuration via PATCH requests. Which additional RESTCONF operation must your script issue to guarantee the applied configuration is retained after a device power cycle?

Send a POST to the '/restconf/operations/cisco-ia:save-config' RPC endpoint

Answer

Send a PUT to '/restconf/data/ietf-interfaces:interfaces' with the startup datastore query parameter

Answer

Send a GET to '/restconf/data?content=nonconfig' to force a checkpoint
