CCDE: Cisco Certified Design Expert (Practical) — Question 212

The first step to a resilient network is to have a clear strategy for how to achieve it and consider that simplicity modularity, and security play important roles. What is critically important to understand thoroughly while you build a resilient IP network?

Answer options

• A. high-performance feature of the hardware
• B. choice of the device speed to build the network
• C. factors affecting the performance of the network
• D. device speed impacting data plane protocols

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Understanding the factors that influence network performance is crucial for building a resilient IP network, as these factors can impact reliability and efficiency. While high-performance hardware and device speed are important, they do not encompass the broader range of elements that affect overall network resilience. Therefore, option C is the most comprehensive choice for ensuring network robustness.
