200-901 Question 61
Select 3A company is deploying a multi-domain network environment where they want to integrate Cisco DNA Center, Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI), Cisco SD-WAN, and Cisco Network Services Orchestrator (NSO). The goal is to automate the provisioning process, ensure policy consistency across domains, and gain centralized visibility. Which solutions are correctly matched with their specific roles in achieving this goal?
- A
Cisco DNA Center provides centralized visibility and policy-based automation for enterprise networks.
- B
Cisco ACI focuses on application-oriented infrastructure and policy enforcement in data center environments.
- C
Cisco SD-WAN provides container orchestration for cloud-native applications.
- D
Cisco NSO enables cross-domain orchestration and service automation in the network.
- E
Cisco DNA Center serves as the only required tool for all network automation in this scenario.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, D
Explanation
In a multi-domain network environment, Cisco DNA Center, Cisco ACI, Cisco SD-WAN, and Cisco NSO play complementary roles. DNA Center is used for enterprise network automation and assurance, ACI for data center policy enforcement, NSO for cross-domain orchestration, and SD-WAN for optimizing wide-area connectivity. Each solution is critical for achieving the company's goals of automation, policy consistency, and centralized visibility.
- A. Correct.
Cisco DNA Center is specifically designed for enterprise networks, offering policy-based automation, assurance, and centralized visibility. This aligns with its role in this scenario.
- B. Correct.
Cisco ACI is focused on data center networks, using application-centric policies to enforce consistency and optimize infrastructure. This is an essential part of the solution.
- C. Incorrect.
Cisco SD-WAN primarily enables secure and optimized connectivity for wide-area networks, not container orchestration for cloud-native applications. This is incorrect.
- D. Correct.
Cisco NSO is a powerful tool for cross-domain orchestration and service automation, making it a key component in integrating and automating multi-domain environments.
- E. Incorrect.
While Cisco DNA Center is highly capable, it cannot address the specific needs of all domains (e.g., data centers, SD-WAN) alone. Other tools like ACI, SD-WAN, and NSO are required for a complete solution.
