C. interface between the controller and the network devices
D. NETCONF API interface for orchestrator communication
Correct Answer: C
Cisco DNA southbound APIs provide an interface between the controller and the network devices. These APIs allow the controller to communicate and control network devices such as switches, routers, and access points. They enable the controller to push configuration, gather network data, and manage the devices in the network. The southbound APIs are specific to the lower layers of the network stack and facilitate communication between the controller and the network infrastructure.
