300-415 Question 298
Single answerAn enterprise is deploying Cisco SD-WAN and wants to integrate WAN optimization using AppNav. The enterprise requires centralized control of the WAN optimization policies and the ability to redirect traffic to multiple WAAS (Wide Area Application Services) devices for processing. Which component is responsible for managing the policies and ensuring traffic is redirected to the appropriate WAAS devices?
- A
Cisco vSmart Controller
- B
Cisco vManage
- C
Cisco AppNav Controller
- D
Cisco SD-WAN Edge Router
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The Cisco AppNav Controller is a key component when integrating WAN optimization with Cisco SD-WAN. It centralizes the management of WAN optimization policies and handles the redirection of traffic to WAAS devices, ensuring optimized application delivery and traffic processing.
- A. Incorrect.
Cisco vSmart Controller is responsible for centralized policy management and distribution in the SD-WAN fabric, but it does not handle WAN optimization or traffic redirection to WAAS devices.
- B. Incorrect.
Cisco vManage is the centralized management plane for SD-WAN and is used for configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting, but it does not directly control WAN optimization or traffic redirection to WAAS devices.
- C. Correct.
Cisco AppNav Controller is specifically responsible for managing WAN optimization policies and redirecting traffic to WAAS devices for processing. It ensures efficient traffic handling and optimization in conjunction with SD-WAN.
- D. Incorrect.
Cisco SD-WAN Edge Router handles data plane traffic within the SD-WAN fabric but does not manage WAN optimization or redirect traffic to WAAS devices.
