A network engineer must distribute an operating system image to a network device and activate...

Cisco Catalyst Center Software Image Management separates image deployment into distribution and activation operations. POST /dna/intent/api/v1/image/distribution copies a previously imported software image from Catalyst Center to the selected device. After the image is present in device flash, POST /dna/intent/api/v1/image/activation/device schedules or triggers activation by using the device UUID and image UUID. Both operations are asynchronous, so automation should monitor the returned task information. The Plug and Play import endpoint onboards device records and does not distribute software. The network site endpoint manages hierarchy or site data, while the template-programmer endpoint creates configuration templates. Neither performs Software Image Management. Therefore, requests A and C are the two calls that implement the required distribute-then-activate workflow. Cisco Catalyst Center distribution API Cisco Catalyst Center activation API
