A municipal script must change only the description leaf on an existing IOS XE interface without replacing the whole interface resource. Which RESTCONF HTTP verb matches that intent?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
PATCH is the surgical sticky-note on the filing cabinet—merge just the leaf you care about—while PUT swaps the whole folder and GET only reads.
Full Explanation
RESTCONF maps intent to verbs: PATCH merges leaf updates, PUT replaces a resource, POST creates under a collection, and DELETE removes. Updating only a description is a classic PATCH merge. GET is read-only and does not configure; forcing DELETE/POST or always using PUT when a merge suffices mismatches the edit intent.
