Q: 1
In which direction does the Cisco DNA Center Intent API communicate?

Option C for sure. Northbound APIs like the Intent API are built to let apps interact with DNA Center from above the platform, not for directly talking to devices (that would be southbound, D). Seen this in Cisco docs and practice questions too. Unless I’m missing something, C is the way to go.
C . Southbound (D) is tempting since it goes device level, but intent APIs always mean northbound in Cisco docs.
Option C since northbound APIs like this one expose controller functions to apps. Wouldn't pick southbound unless the API talked directly to devices, which it doesn't. Pretty sure that's how Cisco labels it, but open to debate.
C vs D, always get sick of Cisco using these northbound and southbound terms so much. But pretty sure "northbound" (C) is correct since Intent API is for apps to interact with DNAC, not direct device config. Open to corrections here.
C , matches what I've seen in official Cisco docs and practice tests. Northbound APIs like the DNA Center Intent API are for exposing functions to applications above the controller layer, not talking to network devices (that would be southbound). If you're prepping, check out some lab guides for hands-on with the API-really helps clear up these concepts. Pretty sure about this but if anyone has a counter example from another Cisco platform let me know.
Yeah, it's C. Northbound APIs are always about letting external apps talk to controllers like DNAC, not for device-level stuff (that'd be southbound). Pretty sure that's what Cisco means by Intent API here, but open if anyone thinks otherwise.
C , saw a similar question on a practice exam and northbound was the right call for Intent API.
Probably C here. Cisco DNA Center Intent API is exposed for apps north of the controller, not direct to devices below. Hard to mix this one up unless you confuse it with device-level APIs.
Not sure, but I'd say C. Intuitively fits Cisco's API direction naming.
C tbh. A lot of folks pick D since southbound sounds like device control, but Intent API is always northbound for apps to talk business logic. Anyone see anything different on actual exams?
Be respectful. No spam.
