Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) — Question 874

What is a TLOC in a Cisco SD-WAN deployment?

Answer options

• A. value that identifies a specific tunnel within the Cisco SD-WAN overlay
• B. identifier that represents a specific service offered by nodes within the Cisco SD-WAN overlay
• C. attribute that acts as a next hop for network prefixes
• D. component set by the administrator to differentiate similar nodes that offer a common service

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as TLOC (Transport Locator) serves as a next hop for network prefixes, guiding traffic through the appropriate path in the SD-WAN architecture. Options A and B incorrectly define TLOC as a tunnel identifier or service identifier, respectively, which do not accurately describe its function. Option D also misrepresents TLOC, as it does not pertain to differentiating nodes but rather to routing functionality.
