Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) — Question 472

What are two characteristics of Cisco SD-Access elements? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. The border node is required for communication between fabric and nonfabric devices.
• B. Traffic within the fabric always goes through the control plane node.
• C. Fabric endpoints are connected directly to the border node.
• D. The control plane node has the full RLOC-to-EID mapping database.
• E. The border node has the full RLOC-to-EID mapping database.

Correct answer: A, D

Explanation

The correct answers are A and D because the border node indeed facilitates communication between fabric and nonfabric devices, and the control plane node holds the entire RLOC-to-EID mapping database. Options B and C are incorrect as traffic within the fabric does not necessarily go through the control plane node, and fabric endpoints are not directly connected to the border node; they connect to other fabric devices. Option E is incorrect as it is the control plane node that has the full mapping database, not the border node.
