Designing Cisco Enterprise Networks (ENSLD) — Question 216
An engineer is designing a QoS solution for a customer. The customer's internet connection has a bandwidth of 10 Mbps. The design must ensure that traffic bursts of data do not exceed the bandwidth of the connection and that received traffic does not starve out business-critical traffic. Which solution must the engineer choose?
Answer options
- A. Configure the queuing default queue for shaping inbound and policing inbound.
- B. Configure the queuing default queue for shaping inbound and policing outbound.
- C. Configure the queuing default queue for shaping outbound and policing inbound.
- D. Configure the queuing default queue for shaping outbound and policing outbound.
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is C because shaping outbound traffic ensures that the outgoing data does not exceed the available bandwidth, while policing inbound traffic helps maintain the integrity of critical business traffic coming into the network. Options A and B incorrectly manage the traffic in a way that could allow bursts of incoming traffic to disrupt business-critical services, and option D does not address the need for prioritizing inbound traffic.
