NSE 7 – SD-WAN 7.2 — Question 14

What is a benefit of using application steering in SD-WAN?

Answer options

• A. The traffic always skips the regular policy routes.
• B. You do not need to configure firewall policies that accept the SD-WAN traffic.
• C. You steer traffic based on the detected application.
• D. You do not need to enable SSL inspection.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer, C, is accurate because application steering allows traffic to be routed based on the specific application detected, optimizing performance and user experience. Option A is incorrect as traffic may still follow policy routes depending on configuration. Option B is misleading since firewall policies may still be necessary for certain traffic. Option D is not correct because SSL inspection can still be relevant regardless of application steering.
