Can NetSim devices be managed using RESTCONF?

The correct answer is that NetSim devices can be managed using RESTCONF through a northbound interface. RESTCONF is an API that leverages RESTful principles to provide a programmatic interface for managing devices that support YANG data models. In this context, the northbound interface refers to the high-level interface that allows applications to communicate with the device management layer.

Using RESTCONF as a northbound API means that developers can create applications that interact with the underlying network devices in a standardized manner, making it easier to automate tasks and manage configurations. This is particularly useful in modern network environments where software-defined networking (SDN) principles are applied.

Overall, the ability to interact with NetSim devices through RESTCONF enhances the automation capabilities and programmability of network operations, which are core tenets of DevNet certifications.
