As a network engineer automating network device configurations using a RESTful API, you need to update the configuration of an existing router. Which HTTP method is appropriate for this operation?
The PUT method is used in RESTful APIs to update an existing resource with new data. When modifying the configuration of an existing router, PUT replaces the current resource representation with the one provided. On the other hand, POST is typically used to create new resources, GET retrieves data without making changes, and DELETE removes a resource. HEAD method returns metadata about a resource on the server. Therefore, PUT is the appropriate HTTP method for updating the router's configuration in this scenario.
