Implementing Secure Solutions with Virtual Private Networks (SVPN) — Question 50

A network engineer must expand a company's Cisco AnyConnect solution. Currently, a Cisco ASA is set up in North America and another will be installed in Europe with a different IP address. Users should connect to the ASA that has the lowest Round Trip Time from their network location as measured by the AnyConnect client. Which solution must be implemented to meet this requirement?

Answer options

• A. VPN Load Balancing
• B. IP SLA
• C. DNS Load Balancing
• D. Optimal Gateway Selection

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, Optimal Gateway Selection, as it allows users to connect to the ASA with the lowest latency based on their location. The other options do not provide a mechanism to dynamically select the best ASA based on Round Trip Time; VPN Load Balancing distributes traffic, IP SLA monitors network performance, and DNS Load Balancing resolves names but does not account for latency in real-time.
