Answer Correct answer: AD — Use the POST method with an attributes object in the REST API body.

Community Insight

ACI configuration is model-driven: a POST to /api/node/mo/uni.json carrying a physDomP object with an attributes block (name, dn) plus a child infraRsVlanNs referencing the VLAN pool namespace (tDn) is the canonical way to configure a physical domain and bind a VLAN pool.

In the Cisco ACI REST API, you create a physical domain and attach a VLAN pool with a POST to the fabric policy managed object, supplying the configuration inside an attributes object (and the VLAN pool relation as a child infraRsVlanNs).

Choosing GET (read) or PATCH (not the ACI verb) or variables (not an ACI REST element). The two required pieces are the HTTP method POST and the attributes key in the JSON body.

Why the Answer Is Correct

The ACI REST API configures objects via POST (create/modify) with the object's properties in an attributes dictionary. To create a physical domain and attach a VLAN pool you POST a physDomP with attributes (name, dn) and a child infraRsVlanNs whose tDn points to the VLAN pool — hence POST and attributes.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

GET is a read operation, not a configuration method. PATCH is not the ACI REST verb (ACI uses POST for create/modify). variables is not an ACI REST API element. These do not accomplish the configuration.

Community Comment Notes

Community: "Correct A and D — POST to create and attributes"; DevNet ACI getting-started shows exactly POST.../uni.json with { "physDomP": { "attributes": { "name":... }, "children": [ { "infraRsVlanNs": { "attributes": { "tDn":... } } } ] } }. Votes AD 100.
