300-415 · Question #198

Which policy allows communication between TLOCs of data centers and spokes and blocks communication between spokes?

The correct answer is C. centralized control policy. A centralized control policy governs network topology and routing reachability across the Cisco SD-WAN fabric, allowing specific TLOC communication rules to be enforced.

Why each option

A centralized control policy governs network topology and routing reachability across the Cisco SD-WAN fabric, allowing specific TLOC communication rules to be enforced.

Acentralized data policy

A centralized data policy primarily focuses on traffic engineering, QoS, and application-aware routing for data packets, not on defining the fundamental routing reachability between TLOCs.

Blocalized control policy

A localized control policy is applied to a single WAN Edge router and affects routing decisions only for that specific device, unable to enforce communication rules across the entire fabric between different site types.

Ccentralized control policyCorrect

A centralized control policy, configured on the vSmart controller, is responsible for influencing the network topology and routing decisions across the entire SD-WAN overlay. It can be used to define specific routing relationships, such as allowing TLOCs from data centers to communicate with spoke TLOCs while explicitly blocking TLOC communication directly between spoke sites, thereby controlling the overall reachability and traffic flow at a control plane level.

Dlocalized data policy

A localized data policy is applied to a single WAN Edge router and affects data plane forwarding decisions only for that device, unable to enforce communication rules across the entire fabric between different site types.
