Your team is onboarding 30 branch switches into Catalyst Center with Python, and the only credential stored for them is an SSH CLI login. After the job runs you must confirm every device appears with its management IP before templates are pushed. Which pair of Catalyst Center API calls starts the discovery and then returns the synced device inventory?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Start discovery with POST /dna/intent/api/v1/discovery, selecting SSH and your stored CLI credential ID, then use GET /dna/intent/api/v1/network-device to check the synced inventory and management IPs. It’s like starting a roll call, then checking the attendance list before you push templates.
Full Explanation
Discovery in Catalyst Center is asynchronous: the request creates a job that logs into each address using the selected protocol and configured credential, and the resulting devices appear in inventory. Selecting SSH and the stored CLI credential matches the available access method; the follow-up read of the network-device collection returns inventory records that include management IPs. An SNMPv3 discovery uses a protocol and credential not available in this scenario. Importing devices individually is a different workflow, not the requested discovery job. Polling the task endpoint reports task status, but does not return the device inventory. Catalyst Center retains the /dna/intent API path after the product rename.
