Designing Cisco Enterprise Networks (ENSLD) — Question 250

An architect must design a topology for a WAN network that satisfies these requirements:

• Devices must be able to make informed decisions.
• Suboptimal paths are allowed only in case of a failure.
• Backup paths must always be available.

Which topology must the architect select?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, full mesh, because this topology allows every device to connect directly to every other device, enabling informed decision-making and providing multiple paths for redundancy. The other options, such as Clos, partial mesh, and hub and spoke, do not offer the same level of direct connectivity and backup paths necessary to meet the requirements.
