Question

A network engineer is writing a Python script to modify the description of an existing device interface in Cisco Catalyst Center. The full resource already exists and must be completely replaced with a new representation supplied in the request body. The script currently uses 'requests.post()' but the API returns unexpected behavior. Which change best aligns the HTTP method with the intended operation of fully replacing an existing resource?

Accepted Answer

Use requests.put() to replace the entire existing resource with the supplied representation

Answer

Use requests.get() with a JSON body to update the resource fields

Answer

Use requests.post() but add a 'X-Update: true' header to force replacement

Answer

Use requests.delete() followed by requests.get() to refresh the resource
