A lead engineer scripts pre-upgrade checks against SD-WAN Manager for a 400-site fabric. The work must list the local admin users, show certificate details for connected devices, and read cluster node information, all read-only, after signing in through the standard provider endpoint. Which request set targets the administration APIs correctly?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Administration APIs expose manager information separately from the network configuration tree. Your provider login is like a building pass: use its session to make read-only requests to the user, certificate, and cluster resources under dataservice.
Full Explanation
Administration APIs read manager information rather than network configuration. After provider login, subsequent requests use the established session; include the token as required by the API and request type. The user resource provides local account information, certificate resources provide device certificate information, and cluster resources provide cluster information. The configuration tree exposes network configuration resources such as devices, templates, and policies, not local accounts or cluster state. Querying an edge router does not provide the manager's user list or cluster membership. Endpoint paths can vary by release, so confirm them in the current API documentation. Practical check: log in, capture the session details, then issue a read-only user query and confirm a successful response.
