Single answerYour organization has implemented Cisco SD-WAN, and you need to schedule a policy update to take effect during non-business hours to minimize disruption. Which configuration step is necessary to ensure this scheduling is correctly applied?
- A
Configure a centralized policy and set an activation time in the vManage GUI
- B
Use the CLI on each WAN Edge device to manually set the policy activation time
- C
Schedule the policy update using the Maintenance > Schedule option in vManage
- D
Enable the 'Policy Scheduler' feature on all controllers in vManage
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Scheduling policy updates in Cisco SD-WAN is done via the vManage GUI, where you can configure a centralized policy and specify an activation time. This method ensures consistency across devices and avoids the need for manual intervention on individual devices. Other options, such as using CLI or unrelated features, are either not applicable or do not exist in SD-WAN.
- A. Correct.
Correct: In Cisco SD-WAN, the vManage GUI allows you to configure centralized policies and set activation times for scheduled updates. This ensures the policy takes effect at the desired time without manual intervention.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Policy updates in Cisco SD-WAN are typically managed centrally via vManage. Configuring individual devices manually is inefficient and error-prone.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect: While the Maintenance > Schedule option in vManage allows you to schedule software upgrades and other tasks, it is not used for policy updates.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect: There is no such feature called 'Policy Scheduler' in Cisco SD-WAN. Scheduling is handled within the policy configuration process in vManage.
