A 911 PSAP tooling team prefers simple HTTPS/JSON clients for routine reads but needs transactional candidate/running datastore commits for complex multi-leaf changes on IOS XE. Which protocol pairing matches those needs?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
RESTCONF is the easy HTTPS/JSON counter window; NETCONF is the escrow desk that holds a whole candidate config until you commit. Grab the simple reads over RESTCONF, and bring the multi-leaf surgery to NETCONF. SNMP SETs and telemetry streams are not that transaction desk.
Full Explanation
RESTCONF offers a RESTful HTTPS interface well suited to JSON tooling for many YANG operations. NETCONF (SSH, XML, datastore concepts such as candidate/running and confirmed commits) remains stronger for transactional multi-edit workflows on IOS XE. Telemetry is primarily for streaming operational data, not configuration commits. Both NETCONF and RESTCONF are YANG-based; Guest Shell is orthogonal application hosting.
