Question 420

A post-incident design review discusses the following: A new SDA deployment confuses endpoint location exchange with data-plane encapsulation. Which preventive design control MOST DIRECTLY addresses this specific risk?

  1. Include underlay reachability, MTU and failure testing in fabric acceptance criteria.
  2. Maintain VN and scalable-group access policy matrices with change review.
  3. Pair spanning-tree protections with fiber health monitoring and UDLD where supported.
  4. Document control-plane nodes and data-plane validation separately.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Document control-plane nodes and data-plane validation separately. This control targets the underlying design risk. Cisco SD-Access commonly uses LISP mapping/control functions and VXLAN encapsulation to transport overlay traffic. The follow-up acceptance check remains: Endpoint registration and resolution succeed through the control plane while data packets use the expected VXLAN path.

Incorrect Answers

A:

An SD-Access overlay depends on a stable IP underlay transporting encapsulated packets between fabric nodes. The repeat risk here is different: Cisco SD-Access commonly uses LISP mapping/control functions and VXLAN encapsulation to transport overlay traffic. A directly relevant preventive control is: Document control-plane nodes and data-plane validation separately.

B:

SDA virtualization separates routing domains, while identity-based segmentation can further control communication. The repeat risk here is different: Cisco SD-Access commonly uses LISP mapping/control functions and VXLAN encapsulation to transport overlay traffic. A directly relevant preventive control is: Document control-plane nodes and data-plane validation separately.

C:

Loop Guard helps protect against unidirectional BPDU loss causing unexpected spanning-tree forwarding. The repeat risk here is different: Cisco SD-Access commonly uses LISP mapping/control functions and VXLAN encapsulation to transport overlay traffic. A directly relevant preventive control is: Document control-plane nodes and data-plane validation separately.

Question 421

During a network design workshop, the team finds this issue: During a predeployment review for a regional distribution facility, the team discovers this design gap: a new SDA deployment confuses endpoint location exchange with data-plane encapsulation. An approval gate requires both a measurable acceptance check and a durable prevention control. Which action MOST DIRECTLY meets the stated design requirement?

  1. Design a routed IP underlay with full fabric-node reachability and predictable MTU for encapsulated traffic.
  2. Assign LISP control-plane responsibilities separately from VXLAN data-plane forwarding in the architecture.
  3. Use separate virtual networks and appropriate group-based policy instead of merely renaming VLANs.
  4. Use Root Guard on the port where superior BPDUs must not be accepted.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Assign LISP control-plane responsibilities separately from VXLAN data-plane forwarding in the architecture. This action addresses the stated design problem. Cisco SD-Access commonly uses LISP mapping/control functions and VXLAN encapsulation to transport overlay traffic. A practical confirmation is: Endpoint registration and resolution succeed through the control plane while data packets use the expected VXLAN path. The regional distribution facility acceptance record also captures this result.

Incorrect Answers

A:

An SD-Access overlay depends on a stable IP underlay transporting encapsulated packets between fabric nodes. The actual fault is governed by a different mechanism: Cisco SD-Access commonly uses LISP mapping/control functions and VXLAN encapsulation to transport overlay traffic. The needed response is: Assign LISP control-plane responsibilities separately from VXLAN data-plane forwarding in the architecture.

C:

SDA virtualization separates routing domains, while identity-based segmentation can further control communication. The actual fault is governed by a different mechanism: Cisco SD-Access commonly uses LISP mapping/control functions and VXLAN encapsulation to transport overlay traffic. The needed response is: Assign LISP control-plane responsibilities separately from VXLAN data-plane forwarding in the architecture.

D:

Root Guard prevents a designated switch port from accepting a downstream superior-root claim. The actual fault is governed by a different mechanism: Cisco SD-Access commonly uses LISP mapping/control functions and VXLAN encapsulation to transport overlay traffic. The needed response is: Assign LISP control-plane responsibilities separately from VXLAN data-plane forwarding in the architecture.

Question 422

In a technical design review: During a predeployment review for a regional distribution facility, the team discovers this design gap: a new SDA deployment confuses endpoint location exchange with data-plane encapsulation. An approval gate requires both a measurable acceptance check and a durable prevention control. Which technical principle BEST explains the design decision?

  1. An SD-Access overlay depends on a stable IP underlay transporting encapsulated packets between fabric nodes.
  2. SDA virtualization separates routing domains, while identity-based segmentation can further control communication.
  3. Cisco SD-Access commonly uses LISP mapping/control functions and VXLAN encapsulation to transport overlay traffic.
  4. UDLD can detect certain unidirectional Layer 2 link conditions that simple physical carrier status misses.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Cisco SD-Access commonly uses LISP mapping/control functions and VXLAN encapsulation to transport overlay traffic. The correct engineering response is: Assign LISP control-plane responsibilities separately from VXLAN data-plane forwarding in the architecture.

  1. Traffic tests confirm VN isolation and permit only explicitly authorized intergroup flows.
  2. Fabric edge and border nodes resolve underlay paths and VXLAN test frames traverse without fragmentation faults.
