Designing for Cisco Internetwork Solutions (DESGN, legacy) — Question 36

What is the key limitation of using Internet circuits as a backup to a private enterprise WAN?

Answer options

• A. circuit bandwidth
• B. prioritization
• C. security
• D. operational expense

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, prioritization, because Internet circuits typically do not offer the same level of traffic prioritization as a private WAN, which can negatively impact performance during peak usage. The other options, while important, do not primarily address the unique challenges of maintaining service quality and reliability in backup scenarios compared to a dedicated WAN.
