200-901 DEVASC practice examsIn development
Cisco Certified DevNet Associate
The cross-disciplinary bridge between networking and software: genuine Python, data-structure and Git fundamentals, REST APIs with the GET, POST, PUT and DELETE verbs, status codes, tokens and rate limits, and JSON, XML and YAML as the same structured data; then network automation through model-driven NETCONF and RESTCONF with YANG rather than CLI scripting, the API-first Cisco platforms from DNA Center and Meraki to ACI, Webex and SD-WAN, container and CI/CD deployment with secret management, and infrastructure as code that makes the network reproducible, reviewable and reversible.
What you get
Papers are cut from the bank and weighted like the real exam, and no question appears in two of them. Every wrong answer comes back on later days until you have it right.
What the exam covers
| Software development, APIs and data formats | Not published |
| Network automation, platforms and deployment | Not published |
Two sample questions
1. Which is a reason to read API documentation before coding?
- The API runs faster once the docs are read
- The token is no longer required to call it
- The endpoints, the auth and the data shapes are known — correct
- Errors are handled by the documentation
Why: Reading API documentation reveals endpoints, authentication, and data shapes before coding.
2. Which is a benefit of consistent naming and tagging in inventory?
- The automation runs faster with tags
- Secrets are grouped alongside the inventory
- Targeting and management both become easier — correct
- Testing is no longer required before a run
