300-415 · Question #109
An engineer is configuring a WAN Edge router for DIA based on matching QoS parameters. Which two actions accomplish this task? (Choose two.)
The correct answer is C. Configure a centralized data policy. D. Configure NAT on the transport interface. Configuring Direct Internet Access (DIA) based on QoS parameters requires a centralized data policy to intelligently steer traffic and Network Address Translation (NAT) on the transport interface for internet egress.

Why each option
Configuring Direct Internet Access (DIA) based on QoS parameters requires a centralized data policy to intelligently steer traffic and Network Address Translation (NAT) on the transport interface for internet egress.
Applying a QoS map policy primarily handles marking, policing, or queuing traffic, but it does not perform the traffic steering or forwarding decisions required for DIA based on QoS parameters.
A control policy primarily influences routing information and OMP updates, not direct data plane forwarding decisions for DIA based on QoS parameters.
A centralized data policy is used to define rules that match traffic based on QoS parameters and then steer that specific traffic towards a direct internet access (DIA) path.
Configuring Network Address Translation (NAT) on the transport interface connected to the internet is essential for DIA, allowing private IP addresses from the service VPN to communicate with public internet resources.
While a data policy is involved, 'Apply a data policy on WAN interface' is less specific than a 'centralized data policy' which provides the necessary traffic steering logic across the overlay for DIA.
