Single answerYour organization is planning to deploy Cisco SD-WAN across its branch offices. The IT team is evaluating the appropriate SD-WAN Edge platforms to handle large-scale branch connectivity, with requirements for integrated security, application optimization, and support for high bandwidth. Which Cisco SD-WAN Edge platform would best meet these requirements?
- A
Cisco ISR 1100 Series
- B
Cisco vEdge 1000
- C
Cisco ISR 4000 Series
- D
Cisco ASR 1000 Series
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The Cisco ISR 4000 Series is designed for large-scale branch deployments with high bandwidth requirements. It provides integrated security, application optimization, and advanced SD-WAN capabilities, making it the best choice for the described scenario. Other platforms like the ISR 1100 and vEdge 1000 are more suitable for small to medium branch offices, while the ASR 1000 Series is generally used in a data center or aggregation role.
- A. Incorrect.
The Cisco ISR 1100 Series is designed for smaller branch offices with moderate performance requirements. It may not be suitable for high bandwidth or large-scale deployments.
- B. Incorrect.
The Cisco vEdge 1000 is ideal for small to medium branch offices but lacks the scalability and integrated features required for large-scale high-performance deployments.
- C. Correct.
The Cisco ISR 4000 Series supports high bandwidth, application optimization, and integrated security features, making it suitable for large-scale branch connectivity in SD-WAN deployments.
- D. Incorrect.
The Cisco ASR 1000 Series is typically used in data centers or as aggregation routers, not for branch office deployments.
