A city clerk must change an interface configuration on IOS XE using model-driven automation with Python rather than raw SSH expect scripts. Which approach best matches that goal?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
ncclient talks NETCONF; YANG names the interface knobs; together they twist the right dial on IOS XE from Python. Pastebin-and-pray or Telnet color scraping is not model-driven automation.
Full Explanation
Model-driven configuration on IOS XE commonly uses NETCONF with YANG models, driven from Python via ncclient (edit-config, get-config, locks, commits as supported). That approach is structured and scriptable compared with expect/SSH scraping or out-of-band paste workflows. Spreadsheets alone do not change the device. This closes the batch on NETCONF/YANG/ncclient programmability for civic IOS XE changes.
