300-415 Question 89
Select 3An enterprise is deploying Cisco SD-WAN across multiple branch offices and plans to optimize scalability and redundancy for their control plane. Which of the following configurations would best achieve this goal?
- A
Deploy multiple vSmart controllers in geographically dispersed data centers.
- B
Configure vBond orchestrators with a single static IP address for all devices to connect.
- C
Distribute vEdge devices across multiple regions and associate them with local vSmart controllers.
- D
Deploy a single vManage instance for centralized management.
- E
Enable clustering on vManage to distribute the management load.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C, E
Explanation
To achieve scalability and redundancy in a Cisco SD-WAN deployment, it is crucial to implement multiple vSmart controllers across regions, distribute vEdge devices appropriately, and enable clustering on vManage. These configurations ensure that no single point of failure exists while optimizing the control and management planes for large-scale deployments.
- A. Correct.
Deploying multiple vSmart controllers in geographically dispersed data centers provides redundancy and scalability for the control plane, ensuring that a failure in one region does not impact the entire network.
- B. Incorrect.
Using a single static IP address for the vBond orchestrator introduces a single point of failure and does not align with scalability or redundancy best practices.
- C. Correct.
Distributing vEdge devices across regions and associating them with local vSmart controllers ensures efficient control plane operations and reduces latency, improving scalability and redundancy.
- D. Incorrect.
Deploying a single vManage instance does not provide redundancy and poses a risk to centralized management if that instance fails.
- E. Correct.
Enabling clustering on vManage distributes the management load across multiple servers, improving both scalability and redundancy for management functions.
