CCDE: Cisco Certified Design Expert (Practical) — Question 210

A service provider recently migrated to an SD-WAN solution for delivering WAN connections to its customers. One of the main challenges with the SD-WAN deployment is that branch site volume increases every year, which causes management complexity. Which action resolves the issue?

Answer options

• A. Set up a dedicated team to monitor and provision new customers
• B. Build a service orchestration platform on top of the network controller
• C. Implement a scalable network management system to manage all sites
• D. Adopt a well-structured SD-WAN service management lifecycle model

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer, D, suggests adopting a structured SD-WAN service management lifecycle model, which helps streamline operations and manage complexity as branch sites grow. Options A and B focus on specific teams or platforms but do not address the broader management lifecycle needed for scalability. Option C, while beneficial, may not encompass the comprehensive approach provided by a well-structured lifecycle model.
