300-435 Question 233
Single answerAn enterprise has deployed Cisco SD-WAN to enable secure and optimized connectivity across its branch offices. The IT team needs to implement a policy that prioritizes business-critical applications such as VoIP and video conferencing under conditions of limited bandwidth. Which type of policy should the IT team configure in the vManage dashboard to achieve this goal?
- A
Data Policy
- B
Control Policy
- C
App-Aware Routing Policy
- D
VPN Membership Policy
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
App-Aware Routing Policy is the correct choice because it allows IT teams to define policies that dynamically direct traffic based on application performance metrics. This ensures that critical applications like VoIP and video conferencing are prioritized even during bandwidth limitations, providing optimized performance for essential business operations.
- A. Incorrect.
Data Policy is used for traffic engineering and to control how traffic flows through the network, but it does not prioritize applications based on performance or bandwidth conditions.
- B. Incorrect.
Control Policy is used to influence routing decisions and control the distribution of routes, but it does not directly affect application performance or prioritize traffic.
- C. Correct.
App-Aware Routing Policy is specifically designed to prioritize applications based on performance metrics like latency, jitter, and loss, which ensures business-critical applications receive priority during bandwidth constraints.
- D. Incorrect.
VPN Membership Policy is used to control site-to-VPN mapping and does not involve traffic prioritization or application-specific handling.
