Question

You are writing a Python script that uses RESTCONF to add three new permit entries to an existing IPv4 ACL named 'BLOCK-GUEST' on an IOS-XE device. The ACL already contains several entries you must preserve, and each entry is keyed by a numeric sequence number in the YANG list 'access-list-seq-rule'. Your JSON payload contains only the three new sequence numbers. Which HTTP method and target combination will add the new entries without removing the existing ones?

Accepted Answer

Answer

Send a PUT request to the ACL container resource with only the three new list entries in the payload

Answer

Send a POST request to each existing sequence-number resource with the new entries as children

Answer

Send a DELETE request for the ACL followed by a PUT with only the three new entries
