CCDE: Cisco Certified Design Expert (Practical) — Question 242

The General Bank of Greece plans to upgrade its legacy, end-of-life WAN network with a new flexible, manageable, and scalable solution. The main requirements are ZTP support, end-to-end encryption, application awareness, and segmentation. The CTO states that the main goal of the bank is CAPEX reduction. Which WAN technology should be used for the solution?

Answer options

• A. SD-branch
• B. DMVPN with PfR
• C. managed SD-WAN
• D. SD-WAN

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is managed SD-WAN, as it provides the scalability, manageability, and flexibility required while supporting ZTP, encryption, application awareness, and segmentation. Other options, such as SD-branch and DMVPN with PfR, may not fully meet all the specified requirements or focus on CAPEX reduction as effectively as managed SD-WAN does.
