Which queue must an engineer configure for control and BFD traffic for convergence on a WAN Edge router?

The correct answer is A. queue 0. Control plane and BFD traffic, essential for network stability and quick convergence, are prioritized by being configured in queue 0 on a WAN Edge router.

Why each option

Control plane and BFD traffic, essential for network stability and quick convergence, are prioritized by being configured in queue 0 on a WAN Edge router.

Aqueue 0Correct

In Cisco SD-WAN QoS, queue 0 is specifically designated for high-priority control plane traffic, including OMP and BFD. This ensures that critical network protocols receive preferential treatment, minimizing latency and jitter to maintain network stability and achieve rapid convergence.

Bqueue 1

Queue 1 is typically used for high-priority data applications like voice, not control plane protocols.

Cqueue 2

Queue 2 is generally reserved for medium-priority data applications such as video, which is not suitable for critical control and BFD traffic.

Dqueue 7

Queue 7 is commonly used for best-effort or scavenger traffic, which receives the lowest priority and would be detrimental to control and BFD traffic's performance.
