300-415 Question 264
Single answerA network administrator is tasked with configuring traffic policing in a Cisco SD-WAN solution to ensure that video conferencing traffic does not exceed a predefined bandwidth limit. The administrator wants to enforce a policy where excess traffic beyond the limit is dropped. Which configuration parameter should the administrator use in the centralized policy to achieve this?
- A
Rate-Limit
- B
Shaping Rate
- C
Queue Depth
- D
Policing Rate
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
In Cisco SD-WAN, Rate-Limit is the configuration parameter used in policing policies to enforce a bandwidth limit for specific traffic. When the traffic exceeds the defined limit, it is dropped. This ensures compliance with the required bandwidth constraints, making it the correct choice for this scenario.
- A. Correct.
Rate-Limit is the correct parameter to configure for enforcing a maximum bandwidth limit for specific traffic types in Cisco SD-WAN. It is used to drop excess traffic once the threshold is exceeded.
- B. Incorrect.
Shaping Rate is used for traffic shaping, which buffers excess traffic instead of dropping it. This does not meet the requirement of dropping excess traffic.
- C. Incorrect.
Queue Depth refers to the size of the queue that can hold packets before they are processed. It is not related to enforcing a bandwidth limit.
- D. Incorrect.
Policing Rate is not a valid configuration parameter in Cisco SD-WAN and does not exist in the policy framework.
