300-415 Question 165
Single answerA network administrator is implementing a Cisco SD-WAN solution and wants to simplify device configurations by creating reusable templates for different types of devices. The administrator also needs to ensure that specific parameters, such as interface IP addresses, can be customized for individual devices during the deployment process. Which feature should the administrator primarily use to achieve this?
- A
Configuration groups
- B
Feature profiles
- C
Device templates
- D
Workflows
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Device templates in Cisco SD-WAN are specifically designed to simplify configuration management by allowing administrators to define reusable templates for devices. These templates can include variables, which can be customized for individual devices during deployment, making them ideal for scenarios where certain parameters (e.g., IP addresses) need to be unique per device. This functionality aligns perfectly with the requirements described in the question.
- A. Incorrect.
Configuration groups are used to organize devices into logical groups for management purposes, but they do not provide the capability to create reusable templates for configurations.
- B. Incorrect.
Feature profiles are reusable blocks of configuration for specific features (e.g., QoS or BGP), but they are not used to define complete device configurations or allow parameter customization during deployment.
- C. Correct.
Device templates in Cisco SD-WAN allow the creation of reusable configurations for devices, including the ability to define variables for custom parameters like interface IP addresses. This matches the described requirement.
- D. Incorrect.
Workflows in Cisco SD-WAN describe a series of steps or processes to accomplish a task, but they are not directly related to creating reusable configuration templates.
