Designing Cisco Enterprise Networks (ENSLD) — Question 313

Which are two advantages of a “one switch at a time” approach to integrating SD-Access into an existing brown field environment? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. appropriate for campus and remote site environments
• B. allows simplified roll back
• C. involves the least risk of all approaches
• D. opens up many new design and deployment opportunities
• E. ideal for protecting recent investments while upgrading legacy hardware
• F. allows simplified testing prior to cutover

Correct answer: A, E

Explanation

The 'one switch at a time' method is particularly advantageous for campus and remote site environments because it allows for targeted deployment without overhauling the entire network. Additionally, it helps preserve recent investments by enabling upgrades of legacy hardware incrementally. Options B, C, D, and F do not specifically address the unique benefits of the gradual approach in a brownfield scenario.
