Question

A network engineer uses a Python script to push an interface description change to a router via RESTCONF. The script sends a PUT request to the URI /restconf/data/ietf-interfaces:interfaces/interface=GigabitEthernet2 with a valid JSON body. The response returns HTTP status code 204 with an empty response body. What should the engineer conclude?

Accepted Answer

Answer

The request failed because the URI resource does not exist and must be created first

Answer

The request was accepted but is still being processed asynchronously by the device

Answer

Authentication succeeded but the account lacks write privileges to modify the datastore
