Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) — Question 881

What are two benefits of implementing a Cisco SD-WAN architecture? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. It enforces a single, scalable, hub-and-spoke topology.
• B. It simplifies endpoint provisioning through standalone router management.
• C. It allows configuration of application-aware policies with real time enforcement.
• D. It improves endpoint protection by integrating embedded and cloud security features.
• E. It provides resilient and effective traffic flow using MPLS.

Correct answer: C, D

Explanation

The correct answers, C and D, highlight key features of Cisco SD-WAN, where it allows for application-aware policies that adjust in real-time and enhances security with integrated solutions. Options A, B, and E do not accurately represent the primary benefits of SD-WAN, as they focus on network topology, router management, and MPLS traffic flow rather than the core advantages of application awareness and security.
