CCDE: Cisco Certified Design Expert (Practical) — Question 272

What are two advantages of controller-based networks versus traditional networks? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. more consistent device configuration
• B. the ability to have forwarding tables at each device
• C. programmatic APIs that are available per device
• D. the ability to configure the features for the network rather than per device
• E. more flexible configuration per device

Correct answer: A, D

Explanation

The correct answers, A and D, highlight the advantages of having a centralized controller that ensures uniformity in device configurations and allows for network-wide feature configurations. Options B and E focus on device-specific capabilities rather than the overarching benefits of a controller-based approach, making them less applicable in this context. Option C, while relevant to programmability, does not directly compare the advantages over traditional networks.
