Correct answer: B
Explanation
By integrating Cisco ThousandEyes with Catalyst SD-WAN Manager, enterprises gain end-to-end visibility into application performance across their SD-WAN. This integration allows IT teams to monitor the network path of applications, diagnose performance bottlenecks, and improve troubleshooting capabilities. This is critical for ensuring reliable application performance and user experience over a WAN environment.
- A. Incorrect.
ThousandEyes does not directly automate SD-WAN policy updates; its primary function is to provide visibility into network and application performance.
- B. Correct.
This is correct. The integration between ThousandEyes and Catalyst SD-WAN Manager enables end-to-end visibility into network paths, helping to identify and troubleshoot application performance issues across the WAN.
- C. Incorrect.
Webex analytics are managed through Webex Control Hub, which is unrelated to the direct integration between ThousandEyes and Catalyst SD-WAN Manager.
- D. Incorrect.
While centralized cloud security management is important, the integration between ThousandEyes and Catalyst SD-WAN Manager focuses on visibility and monitoring, not security management.
