Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) — Question 29

Which function does a fabric edge node perform in an SD-Access deployment?

Answer options

• A. Connects endpoints to the fabric and forwards their traffic.
• B. Encapsulates end-user data traffic into LISP.
• C. Connects the SD-Access fabric to another fabric or external Layer 3 networks.
• D. Provides reachability between border nodes in the fabric underlay.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because the fabric edge node is responsible for connecting endpoints to the fabric and managing their traffic. Option B is incorrect as encapsulating data into LISP is not a primary function of the edge node. Option C describes inter-fabric connectivity, which is not the edge node's role. Option D pertains to underlay connectivity, which does not fall under the edge node's responsibilities.
