Question 430
For this Cisco ENSLD design case: During a predeployment review for a medical center network, the team discovers this design gap: an organization wants several isolated business units on the same SD-Access physical fabric. An approval gate requires both a measurable acceptance check and a durable prevention control. Which technical principle BEST explains the design decision?
Explanation
Correct Answer
SDA virtualization separates routing domains, while identity-based segmentation can further control communication. The correct engineering response is: Use separate virtual networks and appropriate group-based policy instead of merely renaming VLANs. The observable check is: Traffic tests confirm VN isolation and permit only explicitly authorized intergroup flows. The medical center network acceptance record also captures this result.
Incorrect Answers
SDA virtualization separates routing domains, while identity-based segmentation can further control communication. The offered choice instead concerns a different principle: an SD-Access overlay depends on a stable IP underlay transporting encapsulated packets between fabric nodes. Those technical conditions are not interchangeable.
SDA virtualization separates routing domains, while identity-based segmentation can further control communication. The offered choice instead concerns a different principle: Cisco SD-Access commonly uses LISP mapping/control functions and VXLAN encapsulation to transport overlay traffic. Those technical conditions are not interchangeable.
SDA virtualization separates routing domains, while identity-based segmentation can further control communication. The offered choice instead concerns a different principle: VRRP provides an interoperable virtual-router gateway mechanism where compatible vendor implementations exist. Those technical conditions are not interchangeable.
