CCDE: Cisco Certified Design Expert (Written) — Question 34
You are hired to design a solution that will improve network availability for users on a campus network with routed access. If the budget limits you to three components, which three components would you recommend in your design proposal? (Choose three.)
Answer options
- A. redundant power supplies in the access routers
- B. standby route processors for SSO in the core routers
- C. standby route processors for SSO in the distribution routers
- D. standby route processors for SSO in the access routers
- E. replace copper links between devices with fiber links
Correct answer: A, D, E
Explanation
The correct choices are A, D, and E, as they all contribute to increasing network availability. Redundant power supplies in access routers prevent downtime due to power failures, while standby route processors in access routers enhance resiliency. Replacing copper links with fiber links improves bandwidth and reduces susceptibility to interference. Options B and C, which focus on core and distribution routers, do not directly address the access layer where users connect.
