300-415 Question 143
Select 2You are tasked with configuring a feature template in Cisco vManage to manage BGP settings for multiple branch routers in your SD-WAN deployment. The requirement is to ensure that BGP configuration is consistent across all branches, but some branches require specific route policies. How should you approach this configuration?
- A
Create a device-specific CLI template for each branch to configure BGP.
- B
Use a centralized feature template in vManage and configure route policies through device-level overrides.
- C
Configure a CLI add-on template to supplement the centralized feature template for branches requiring specific policies.
- D
Create separate feature templates for each branch to handle distinct route policies.
- E
Utilize a centralized feature template with no device-specific overrides to ensure consistency.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: B, C
Explanation
The best approach is to use a centralized feature template for consistent BGP configuration across branches while leveraging device-level overrides or CLI add-on templates to implement branch-specific route policies. This method balances scalability, consistency, and flexibility, which are key principles of Cisco SD-WAN solutions.
- A. Incorrect.
Creating a device-specific CLI template for each branch defeats the purpose of centralized management and scalability in SD-WAN solutions. This approach is not recommended.
- B. Correct.
Using a centralized feature template with device-level overrides allows for consistent configuration while accommodating branch-specific requirements, making it an efficient and scalable solution.
- C. Correct.
A CLI add-on template can be used alongside a feature template to implement additional configurations, such as specific route policies, for branches that require customization. This approach is flexible yet maintains centralized management.
- D. Incorrect.
Creating separate feature templates for each branch would result in significant administrative overhead and complexity, which is counterproductive in an SD-WAN deployment.
- E. Incorrect.
Using a centralized feature template without device-specific overrides ensures consistency but does not address branch-specific requirements, such as unique route policies.
