Implementing Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (DCACI) — Question 89

What is the advantage of implementing an active-active firewall cluster that is stretched across separate pods when anycast services are configured?

Answer options

• A. A cluster is capable to be deployed in transparent mode across pods.
• B. A different MAC/IP configuration combination is configurable for the firewall in each pod.
• C. Local traffic in a pod is load-balanced between the clustered firewalls.
• D. The local pod anycast node is preferred by the local spines.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer, D, is accurate because it indicates that the local spines prefer the anycast node closest to them, which enhances performance and reduces latency. Options A and B are irrelevant to the advantages of anycast in this context, while C, although it mentions load-balancing, does not address the specific benefit of anycast node preference in the active-active configuration.
