300-415 Question 78
Select 3An enterprise is planning to deploy Cisco SD-WAN controllers on-premises to maintain full control over their infrastructure. Which of the following steps are necessary to successfully deploy the controllers on-premises?
- A
Ensure the vManage, vSmart, and vBond controllers have static IP addresses configured.
- B
Deploy the controllers in a public cloud environment for better scalability.
- C
Generate and install certificates for secure communication between controllers and edge devices.
- D
Configure DNS entries to resolve the FQDNs of the controllers for consistent communication.
- E
Disable redundancy to simplify the deployment process.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C, D
Explanation
To deploy Cisco SD-WAN controllers on-premises, the enterprise must ensure proper configuration of static IPs, secure communication using certificates, and DNS resolution for smooth operation. These steps are essential for maintaining control and ensuring reliable communication in an on-premises environment.
- A. Correct.
Static IP addresses are required for on-premises controllers to ensure consistent communication between devices.
- B. Incorrect.
Deploying in a public cloud is not applicable to an on-premises deployment; this option is irrelevant to the scenario.
- C. Correct.
Certificates are critical for establishing secure, authenticated communication between SD-WAN components.
- D. Correct.
DNS entries are necessary to ensure that devices can resolve controller FQDNs to their IP addresses, which is essential for reliable communication.
- E. Incorrect.
Disabling redundancy is not recommended as it reduces fault tolerance, which is vital for any production deployment.
