300-415 · Question #181
Refer to the exhibit. (Exhibit shows network diagram and vManage/vBond configuration snippets). Which configuration change is required?
The correct answer is C. Configure a default route on vBond pointing to 172.16.2.254. To resolve a connection issue in the depicted network, configuring a default route on vBond pointing to 172.16.2.254 is required, implying that vBond lacks proper network reachability to other components. A missing default route is a common cause for connectivity failures…

Why each option
To resolve a connection issue in the depicted network, configuring a default route on vBond pointing to 172.16.2.254 is required, implying that vBond lacks proper network reachability to other components. A missing default route is a common cause for connectivity failures between SD-WAN controllers or to the Internet.
Incorrect timezone configuration on vBond typically affects certificate validation and logging synchronization, but it does not directly prevent basic IP connectivity necessary for establishing connections.
vManage controllers typically establish DTLS/TLS connections, not IPsec directly from a tunnel interface command in this context, and IPsec is usually handled by the underlying tunnel setup. Forcing `encapsulation ipsec` on vManage's control plane tunnel interfaces would likely be incorrect and cause issues if not aligned with the overall secure communication protocol for controllers.
Without the actual exhibit, we must infer the problem from the correct answer. If a default route is missing on vBond, it indicates that vBond cannot reach necessary destinations, such as vManage or WAN Edges over the transport network, if those destinations are not in its directly connected subnets. Configuring `ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 172.16.2.254` (or equivalent for its specific interface) would ensure vBond has a path to communicate with other SD-WAN components or the internet, thus resolving connectivity issues.
vBond uses DTLS for initial orchestration, and its tunnels are established securely. Removing `encapsulation ipsec` (if it were present and correctly configured) could compromise security or break expected tunnel behavior. More importantly, vBond's initial DTLS connections do not primarily rely on an explicit `encapsulation ipsec` command on a tunnel interface in the same manner as data plane IPsec tunnels.
