CCDE: Cisco Certified Design Expert (Practical) — Question 134

Company XYZ branch offices connect to the headquarter sites using two links, MPLS and Internet. The company wants to design the traffic flow so that voice traffic goes through the MPLS link and all other traffic uses either the MPLS link or the Internet link. Which technique can the company use in their design to ensure that the traffic is not process switched?

Answer options

• A. policy-based routing
• B. floating static route
• C. virtual links
• D. virtualization

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, policy-based routing, as it allows the company to define specific routing policies based on traffic type, ensuring voice traffic is prioritized over the MPLS link without process switching. The other options do not directly address the requirement for prioritizing traffic flow in this manner, making them unsuitable for the company's needs.
