CCDE: Cisco Certified Design Expert (Practical) — Question 42
An architect designs a multi-controller network architecture with these requirements:
* Achieve fast failover to control traffic when controllers fail.
* Yield a short distance and high resiliency in the connection between the switches and the controller.
* Reduce connectivity loss and enable smart recovery to improve the SDN survivability.
* Improve connectivity by adding path diversity and capacity awareness for controllers.
Which control plane component of the multi-controller must be built to meet the requirements?
Answer options
- A. control node reliability
- B. control path reliability
- C. controller state consistency
- D. controller clustering
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is B, control path reliability, because it focuses on ensuring dependable connections between controllers and switches, which is crucial for fast failover and resiliency. Options A, C, and D do not directly address the connectivity and recovery requirements as effectively as control path reliability does.
