300-415 Question 47
Single answerA network engineer is deploying Cisco SD-WAN in their organization and needs to select an appropriate SD-WAN Edge platform. They require a small, cost-effective solution for a branch office with moderate bandwidth needs and support for LTE connectivity. Which Cisco SD-WAN Edge platform would best meet these requirements?
- A
Cisco ISR 4000 Series
- B
Cisco Catalyst 8000V
- C
Cisco Catalyst 8300 Series
- D
Cisco SD-WAN ISR 1100 Series
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The Cisco SD-WAN ISR 1100 Series is specifically designed for small branch offices that require cost-effective solutions with support for LTE connectivity. It balances performance and price effectively for moderate bandwidth needs. Other platforms, such as the ISR 4000 or Catalyst 8300 Series, are more appropriate for larger branches or higher performance requirements, while the Catalyst 8000V is a virtual solution.
- A. Incorrect.
The Cisco ISR 4000 Series is suited for larger branch offices or campus deployments with higher bandwidth needs, making it less ideal for smaller, cost-effective branch setups.
- B. Incorrect.
The Cisco Catalyst 8000V is a virtual router and is typically used in cloud or virtualized environments, not physical branch offices.
- C. Incorrect.
The Cisco Catalyst 8300 Series is designed for high-performance use cases and larger branches, which might exceed the requirements of a small branch office.
- D. Correct.
The Cisco SD-WAN ISR 1100 Series is a compact, cost-effective platform designed for smaller branch offices. It supports LTE connectivity, making it the best fit for the given scenario.
