Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) — Question 659

Which technology is used as the basis for the Cisco SD-Access data plane?

Answer options

• A. LISP
• B. 802.1Q
• C. VXLAN
• D. IPsec

Correct answer: C

Explanation

VXLAN is the correct answer as it provides the encapsulation needed for the data plane in Cisco SD-Access, enabling the creation of logical networks over a physical infrastructure. LISP is used for addressing and routing but does not specifically serve as the data plane technology. 802.1Q is related to VLAN tagging, which is not the main technology in SD-Access. IPsec is primarily used for securing IP communications, not for the data plane itself.
